COPPERPLATE PODCAST 320

Take it away, lads. . ¦ ¦ . . .

Thank you.

Wow, how beautiful.

We're off to a mighty start there, aren't we? The

beautiful playing

there of the outfit called Island Eddie, featuring the talents of Brandon Laracy on fiddle and Brian Duke on flute, Jim McKee and Martin Gavin as well.

Two gorgeous reels, Larry Redigan's, of course I've heard it called the Galway Reel, and then the Leitrim Lilta, one of Joe Liddy's finest compositions indeed.

well great to be with you again father another month has gone past and we're still talking great great stuff indeed as i say lots of lovely stuff coming your way this particular outing indeed and in case you didn't hear that Mayo won the All-Ireland Football Final last weekend and they're still celebrating.

They haven't won for 75 years.

Apparently a priest put a curse on them that they'd never win it and they waited 75 years to undo it.

And they're still celebrating along with Tony Reedy.

Come from the bogs of North Mayo I come with turf between my toes I'm as proud a man as you could meet Sweat many the woman off her feet Come from the shores of Cubay I'm as proud a man as you could meet As you sail around the seven seas I'm a mailman, I'm a mailman, God help me I'm a mailman, I'm a mailman, God help me I'm a mailman doing all I can I come from the plains of the U-3 I come with the voice of Raptor Lee I'm as proud a man as you could meet You can call me Kel-Chi I've come down from the muy within Come as clear as mountain dreams I'm as proud a man as you could meet There's no one else I'd rather be I'm a male man, I'm a male man, God help me I'm a male man, I'm a male man, God help me I'm a male I've been around for a thousand years I've come in from the bird of the reed I came down in my day

The mighty talent that is Tony Reedy there, laying his part off.

Maybe the one that softened the heart for him indeed.

Great to hear that again.

That's from Tony's CD, Rough Shot of Lipstick.

I'll have to ask him what that meant when I see him indeed.

Great, great album and a fine singer-songwriter indeed.

Hags are out and a lot around Matt Molloy's place in Westport.

Okey-doke.
