New York Journey- Ciaran MacMathuna Larry Redican & Andy McGann.wmv

This is a tape I recently found sent from Ciaran MacMathuna to my grandfather, Larry Redican. It is a recording of Larry Redican, Andy McGann and many accomplished New York traditional Irish musicians in the early 1960s. I made if for my father, also named Larry Redican, who used to dance with the McNiff Irish Dancers.

Old enough to remember those glorious programmes presented by Ciarán in the early 60's. Tuesday evening & Sunday afternoon were the highlights of the week in our house, "Job of Journey Work" on Tuesday & Ceolta Tíra on Sunday afternoon. This is brilliant stuff & great great playing.

beautiful music and presentation. Thanks Larry for posting this. I had the fortune of meeting Andy McGann in 1981 but had only started to play fiddle in '76 the year after your grandfather had passed.

I finally finished this thing!
love,
Larry
