O'Carolan NAVARRA IN NOVEMBER 2009 "MUSIGONESES FOR THE WORLD NOT JUST MUSIC

Thursday, November 26, 2009

A nice way to spend Sunday morning is (as long as there has been no bolus and outdated last night, of course ...) to rise soon, in sports through the streets of the city. Last Sunday, while the brave marathoners made their career, "Carolina Girls" (as we affectionately call our technical Carlos Estella) and other four-plus people, we did ours. Modestita, 5 km, but enough to have a good time and start the day with another mood. And how cool that a cop traffic court for what you go running ...

In full career Marian. His daughter Mary had gone ahead. Youth ....

Smiling and happy at the end.

Prepare, O'Carolan male section, that for the next team and we run together. Already I'm seeing .... ;-)

Bus - Fredericton To Boston

We've had this year, the honor of opening the programming of Getxo Folk Festival. And not one either, but the 25 edition. Is not the first time we participate in a festival in its 25th year, since in July of last year we also the Silver Jubilee of the Folk Segovia.

You know we love to get closer to the north where there is occasion. But it also was a real pleasure to be part of the festival programming. And, if something of note is the excellence of the people working on the task of Getxo Folk is a success. First, in terms of organization. Everyone knows what to do, and what is better, it does, and get everything to be perfect, from first to last detail. And besides that, the treatment given to all the musicians is exquisite and wonderful. So step out there becomes a real pleasure and a most pleasant experience. Congratulations to all of them.

The trip was a bit shabby. I mean we were the 7 into 4 different vehicles. And the mayor is so peculiar when circumstances require.

Pili, Miguel Angel and I arrived Justito by our side at the time of vermouth, and after parking the van in the store for this site right next to the tent (what a delight ...) we headed to find a bar that had a good tapas bar full of good, mmmmm ....

Finding the bar ....

... there!

pintxitos And after we met Carlos and Jesus to eat. Pilpil delicious cod and a good Irish coffee preceded to job.

cod The photo was late. I was there ...

Here's some point in the sound test.

Carp still empty at the start of the test.

Miguel Angel doing an interview for local television.

I do not know what I would tell Miguel Angel, but it seems that Julian and Chema pretend to "yes, eh?"

"This is what we play."

Someone had fun looking at things from another point of view:

The concert was great The tent full of people very attentive and appreciative. He must like it much, judging by the applause and nearly 50 albums that sold them.

And at the end and finish the show, again forced circumstances ... Jesus and Carlos went whistling to Zaragoza, Chema Ju and stayed to continue enjoying the festival and the North, and Pili, Miguel Angel and I still we take a straw to relax a bit before going back also.

I said, a pleasure to have passed through Getxo Folk.

Where Does Pokemon Battle Frontier Took Place

PLAZA DEL PILAR DE SAN FELIPE 17/10/2009

Well The north wind behaved and stayed at home, which was appreciated. Still yet, the night was "chilly" to call it a very benevolent, but the cold could not even with you not with us yesterday. It was a great concert. You can not imagine the pleasure it was to play in a place as special as the Plaza de San Felipe, and watch from above as many people as you were there holding the temperature, not only enduring, but showing the best of your faces. For as the square was not quite dark, from above we could see you perfectly, at least the closest, and it was great to exchange glances and smiles with you. And see things as special as a girl of about four years applauded enthusiastically, with bravos included, whenever we had a theme. In short, You gave us very little heat that I had left, and that made all of our enjoyment a lot. Thanks!

Special mention to the famous hot bags. We can not explain how we could live without them all these years. We have already included in our luggage. Wonderful ...

Ah! We saw that there were many cameras out there, and we'd love to send us a photo. If you do not mind the climb to the blog. You can send them to ocarolanfolk@gmail.com Thanks in advance.

We leave a link to the blog of a friend in Paco you can see a theme of the concert.

Kisses to all.

How To Do Tracks In Bangs

OS SONOS DO MAR

is a pleasure for us to tell O'Carolan's music will be part of the soundtrack of a feature length documentary, "I Sonos do Mar", written and directed by Daniel Lopez Gallego. "I Sonos do Mar" is the second part of what will be a trilogy, which began with the documentary "Naufraxio", and has a way of life of seafarers. Will be released next November, but meanwhile you can see here the making off as an advance.

More bands and musicians involved in this soundtrack, but our "Days of New Moon" is somehow the focus of it. We are delighted that we have received for this work, among other things because this is an approach to the always beloved Galicia.

Resuscitation After Apparent Deathduration

always nice to read the good reviews are made in reference to our music. Know that what we like is very flattering. And when those good things are those from Ireland, it is not difficult to understand that we feel doubly flattered ...

Here in Castilian and English here you can read what Colman Duffy has written about us. Http://www.europeanirish.com/ is an online magazine for we have already referred in a previous post occasion of the publication of an interview made breads Chary Miguel Angel. We had the opportunity to meet both Chary as Colman on 19 September in the meeting of the Irish.

With Chary, Colman and his words. And make it sound our "On The Cliff" every time someone comes to your magazine.

Greetings from Zaragoza.

What Does It Mean You Have A High Sperm Count

O'Carolan IN IRELAND FROM THE FIRST MEETING OF IRISH AND LOVERS IRELAND IN SPAIN. 09/09/1919 MADRID

A nice pub in Madrid, the Irish Rover, placed a few meters from the Castellana, was the meeting place, on 19 September, from everyone who wanted to bring up there to participate in the First Meeting of Irish and Irish lovers in Spain. It was a day filled with activities such as lectures, panel discussions, exhibitions, poetry, and ultimately, time-sharing by people whose link is her great love for Ireland. And we were invited to bring musical touch the end of the morning.

decided to fly to Madrid the day before because of organizational issues had to be there before 10 and wake up at 6 to go bolus once seemed an odd and a tad uncomfortable. After a clear and decisive entry into the city (without Tomtom, just trusting our intuition and knowledge of a shy streets of Madrid) and after only two laps to give the same block (in consultation with a friendly police officers with whom we share traffic lights and car lights began to appear in our honor), we planted in front of the hotel around 12 and a half on Friday night. A little late to be out of Zaragoza shortly after half past 6 pm, but that chance (blessed her) wanted our step by willows and Goyo House coincided with a suitable time for dinner, so we went there for enjoy these delicious bacon and other wonderful things we have been fortunate to enjoy other times.

However, before going to sleep we get to the pub to meet Chesus, Chary and company, and the way we take some pint of Guinness and Murphy's to be making contact.

next day to breakfast early and then intensive day at the Irish Rover. We would go before 10 am and we left around 6 and a half ago ...

After soundcheck and leave everything ready, a charming and super nice bartender with blue eyes and long blond ponytail taught us how to drink pints in the west of Ireland. Enjoy before the concert, a few pints early morning delicious. About 3 / 4 of Murphy'sy the rest of Guinness. I suggest that probeis.

After the concert, a nice lunch spot with friends who were there. For supesto, topped with an Irish coffee.

And the three, an inevitable and lazy collection stage, and a parting of the waiter, and Chesus, Chary and others following their day with more talk, pints and music in the Tavern Elisa.

To learn more, visit the blog of Chesus , who first took the initiative to assemble this shed, which you can read all the different entries on this first meeting. I imagine it will not be the last.

I leave you with some pictures of the concert.
