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 The Quietus.
Colm has been invited to perform for the visiting Dalai Lama at the Children in Crossfire conference in Derry on April 18. More information about tickets for those in the area here.
Colm will perform at the Baltimore Fiddle Fest on May 11! This 21st anniversary of the festival will be in beautiful Baltimore, West Cork, Ireland. Tickets and information here.
Colm’s “Time Will Tell” is featured in this mini-film “Amongst Inspiration: Part Four with Artist Paul Hughes”, which has been chosen as an Official Selection at the Chicago Irish Film Festival 2013. Click through to watch.
