I’ve included another couple from that great weekend of recording in Kilternan it was…lovely memories of a very relaxed Wally and band. It was probably the best I’ve seen them all play together….all songs rehearsed to a finish and played beautifully. I think fourteen songs in total…I remember sitting with Wally in North Starnd as he wanted to make a list of songs..picking ‘the big ones’. He wanted it just right for the videoing of them ll….and they were. I hadn’t got a car at the time and Wal wasn’t overly fond of driving, particularly after dark..so I took Wal’s car, picked him up every day along with Tom on BVs…and a not to early start, up the winding road to Darrens house and studio….but over three days they got the results…the welcome he received was fab and every day after the recording it was out the back for a BBQ…loved a grill trout or prawns…just good memories as I’m writing. The weather was beautiful, the garden was large and a lot of lying on the grass while in between songs and even a frisbee was played with. There was strong tea and scones too…and a nice timid Husky dog..These were filmed as part of a series called The Stable Sessions. I did interviews with other guests that were included on their DVD releases ( I made sure I wasn’t seen on camera..ha) Johnny McEvoy, Shay Healy, George Murphy and a couple others over a few months. Never got around to recording the chat with Wally for inclusion on that DVD set, but thankfully we did do something by way of a podcast recording thats about an hour long that I cherish dearly….there’s another paragraph in that, but another day maybe…great days, better memories and still think of him very often and that’s a good thing…I’ve included here ‘Biko Drum’ and ‘Baby’s In Blue’.
