Love this quote from Billy Bragg about Colm’s The Hare’s Corner from a different interview than the one previously mentioned. Hope these guys get together…
I think everyone should own The Hare’s Corner by Colm Mac Con Iomaire. It’s an album of instrumental tunes by a contemporary fiddle player from Ireland. Beautiful and relaxing, like a modern Astral Weeks.
You can read the whole interview with Billy at Fairshare Music blog.
Billy Bragg names Colm’s “The Hare’s Corner” as one of his favorites among a cast of some amazing records. We’d be totally down with a Billy + Colm collaboration! Check it out (#12) at
A huge thank you to sweet Cherie & the Frames for surprising us with this autographed 2012 Fall US tour poster to help us raise some funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Each Spring we endeavor to collect donations for JDRF, a cause close to our hearts, via a running race & this will be a great addition to our goal! The full amount of the winning bid will be donated directly to JDRF.
