Cuireann Caoimhe Ceol Ní Chathail scoth an cheoil i do láthair. Ceol traidisiúnta, fréamh agus dúchasach, le heisiúintí úra, sonraí gigeanna, agallaimh agus seisiúin bheo. An tseachtain seo, tá seisiúin ceoil ón stiúideo againn le Bríd Harper ar an fhidil agus Ryan Molloy ar an phianó. Cluineann muid faoin fheadóg stáin a bhronn Daidí na Nollag ar Bhríd agus í óg, rud a chuir tús lena turas ceoil pearsanta féin sular bhog sí go dtí an fhidil, an uirlis a mhúin sí do na sluaite thar na blianta, Ryan ina measc. Cuireann Ryan síos ar an turas a thug go dtí an pianó é – óna thúslaethanta ar an fheadóg stáin go dtí an fhidil (le Bríd) agus cuimhníonn siad ar an uair a bhain sé bonn faoi leith leis an fhidil sa Fleadh Cheoil i gCraobh na hÉireann. Is léir go ndeachaidh tionchar mhúinteoireacht Bhríd i bhfeidhm go mór air agus é ag iarraidh roinnt ceachtanna a bhucáil léi le linn an agallaimh!
Caoimhe Ceol Ní Chathail keeps you in touch with the best in traditional, roots and folk music, featuring new releases, gig details, interviews and live acoustic sessions. This week, we are joined in a special studio recorded session with Bríd Harper on fiddle and Ryan Molloy on piano.
We hear of Bríd’s delight as a small child one Christmas morning when Santa had brought her a tin whistle - her first instrument - before she took to the fiddle from where she went on to teach many on the instrument, Ryan amongst them. Ryan describes the start of his own musical journey from tin whistle to fiddle to piano but has to be poked to admit once being awarded a prestigious medal at the Fleadh Cheoil. A lovely interview and in-house session that takes the pair down memory lane, in particular Bríd’s musical influence on Ryan who wonders if Bríd might still be available for a few more lessons...
