Maidhc Dainín Ó Sé: House Don't Fall On Me, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

An evocative memoir which will appeal to anybody with an interest in the traditional music and culture of rural Ireland, the migration of talented Irish men and women in the 1950s-1970s and the charm of bygone days. This is the story of a young boy growing up in the West Kerry Gaeltacht in the 1940s and 1950s, and his subsequent travels to London and Chicago. He describes piano playing, accordion playing and fiddle playing and the music (and the craic!) is resonant from his descriptions. Maidhc Dainin's Irish is colloquial, conversational and without any airs and graces.
