A quick note...
My nephew Donnacha Rynne, has just published a book about his life. Over two years he had conversations with his good friend Tom Prendergast, with whom he discussed, amongst other things, his struggle with Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Sclerosis. It is called "Being Donnacha". It also contains 16 of his poems and a number of essays by friends and family. It gives us an insight into a most difficult life lived with forbearance, courage and humour. If you are interested the book is available at

Best wishes ... talk soon

I played a gig last night at the opening of this years "Masters of the Tradition" festival, which is celebrating its 7th year. I enjoyed playing with Martin Hayes, Dennis Cahill and Damian Mullane. The gig was a fundraiser for the festival which has lost some of its sponsors in recent years. Anyone who likes to hear "The Pure Drop" of music should consider coming to this festival. Over the years I have heard brilliant performances from Liam O'Flynn, Frankie Gavin, Michéal O'Suilleabháin, Tony Mc Mahon and Tommy Peoples, to name but a few. There are no distractions or gimmicks here
