Episode 3: Jamie Molloy Interview (Concertina, guitar, singing)
from Blarney Pilgrims Irish Music Podcast · host Darren O'Mahony, Dominic Black
Maori pianos, famine roads, the Aussie bush to sponsored women in the 1830s. Jamie can really tell a story, not to mention his singing, guitar and concertina playing. As mentioned in the interview, Jamie is one of the performers in The Good Girl Song Project - you can find it here: http://thegoodgirlsongproject.com/ In this episode Jamie plays: Newry Town (Traditional) The Curragh of Kildare (Traditional) Matty (Wally Page) Two Junior Crehan tunes Down The Hall on a Saturday Night (Ken McMaster) Untitled jig I, me, (Dominic), refer in the interview to the story J. M Synge related in the preface to Playboy of the Western World, which I sort of half remembered: "When I was writing The Shadow of the Glen some years ago I got more aid than any learning could have given me from a chink in the floor of the old Wicklow house where I was staying, that let me hear what was being said by the servant girls in the kitchen." I also seem to remember reading something by Colm Toibin in 'New Ways to Kill Your Mother' that the story was sort of...em...not true. But don't quote me on that. It's a pretty great book though - essays on Irish writers and their relationship with their mothers, Ireland and each other. There's a review of the book here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/feb/26/ways-kill-your-mother-colm-toibin-review Oddly enough, you'll see in this review, too, a reference to Blake Bailey’s biography of American writer John Cheever. Have to say, it’s a cracking book, even if you don't like biographies. It's a cracker. Grim, funny, horrible, fascinating. So. Yeah...fab.
