   About Brian Conway

Contact Box Generated from http://myspacesupport.com
Brian Conway was born in the Bronx to parents from County Tyrone, but has immersed himself thoroughly in the Sligo style of playing thanks to contact with fiddlers such as Lad O’Beirne, Andy McGann and Martin Wynne. His first album (with fellow fiddler Tony DeMarco), Apples in Winter, appeared as long ago as 1981 and Through the Round Window was actually recorded piecemeal from 1997 onwards. Many of the tunes will be familiar to anyone immersed in Michael Coleman’s recordings, but Brian brings his own innate zest and stylish bowing style to them.

His newest release is First Through the Gate recorded by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and in 2006, he became a member of the Comhaltas Ceoltorian Eireann Hall of Fame.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? 

(C) David Franks 2003

The Craic Festival 2009 has invited FairplayCollective to play at this years Festival. All members will be playing in the round. The show is at The Mercury Lounge, March 14th at 8pm. This is the last night of the festival and Foy Vance is also on the bill. What more can I say, a great night for music and film, with the odd star thrown in. Come show your support.
