A Celebration of the Music of Johnny O'Leary of Sliabh Luachra

Update: 2021-06-18

Description

This week's podcast celebrates the musicianship of one of Sliabh Luachra's great masters - Johnny O'Leary who passed away in February 2004. He was the custodian of the tradition handed down to him by Padraig O'Keeffe and Denis Murphy.

Sliabh Luachra extends from East Kerry and North Cork to West Limerick. In 2003 I visited Dan O'Connell's pub in Knocknagree and recorded Johnny O'Leary playing with his friends at an evening of exquisite music to celebrate his 80th birthday.
