HIDDEN FERMANAGH - TRADITIONAL MUSIC AND SONG FROM COUNTY FERMANAGH
by Cyril Maguire
An extraordinary book, in the tradition of "The Northern Fiddler," documenting the music of County Fermanagh through interviews, tunes and songs. Musicians like Cathal McConnell, whose was the initiator of the project, Big John McManus, Tommy Gunn, Eddie Duffy and Mick Hoy, and singer Gabriel McArdle are among those who contributed material to this great collection. Also available, and equally fascinating, are two companion CDs featuring McConnell, McArdle, as well as Lawrence Nugent (flute), Brenda McCann (fiddle), and others.
Paperback, 172pp., music, photos, indexes of tunes and songs, bibliography.
