What They Are Saying About ÓhAnléigh's "Of Irish Crossings Told"

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Our Irish/Gaelic broadcasters went out of control over Of Irish Crossings Told!! Aussie Irish can understand the feel of the lyrics and the true Celtic music almost as if they were written for the Irish immigration flow to Australia rather than that other place. If your toes don't tap to this CD you're dead. Martin Wright, Program Director, 3ZZZ Collingwood, Victoria, Australia

Excellent playing, good tunes... The whole disc is good. Its getting 2-3 spins a week! Our favs seem to be Rising of the Moon and Connemara by the Lake. John Ziegler, Program Director, KUMD Duluth MN USA

This group's music is sensational! Jerre Haskew, The Cumberland Trio

The band got its start in early 2002 by performing at a St. Patricks Day event, and hasnt stopped since. The new CD is a collection of traditional and original Irish-American songs and tunes.. ballads, sing-a-long pub songs in 2- and 3-part harmony, traditional fiddle tunes.. featuring Tom Hanley, his daughter Becca, and Cindy Hill, all with a staggering array of instruments and vocal harmonies. Mark Sustic Calendar CD Recommendations

Many thanks for your disc. Using Feast of Brigid on this week's show! George Maida WCVE-FM Richmond VA USA

Of Irish Crossings Told is a beautiful album full of passionate energy and verve... brilliant musicianship and tremendous production values. OhAnleighs traditional Irish folk style is injected with US immigrant influences, producing music with depth and character. Each song has a tale to tell. Tom Hanley, Becca Hanley and Cindy Hill...all play a multitude of instruments... their individual vocals and harmonies are superb. A must-have for lovers of Irish folk music! Jane Oldes, Media Reviewer, TheEroticWoman.com, South Australia

Traditional yet contemporary... Authentic and tasteful presentation. --Henry Brun, KRTU, San Antonio Texas USA

They awaken the Irish in all of us, with a repertoire of over 200 reels, hornpipes and slow airs played on everything from penny whistles to a sizzling Irish fiddle. This popular trios first CD includes traditional Irish melodies as well as original tunes like Aint it Bloody Well Grand to be Irish and Livin in the USA. Come kick up your heels... Doug Anderson, Town Hall Theater, Middlebury Vermont

The OhAnleigh CD was terrific! There were some very unusual songs on "Of Irish Crossings Told" and we are always looking for fresh material. Mary and Mareena McGirr, Proud to Be Irish WCVR radio and webcast Siena NY USA

Thank you so much for the beautiful CD "Of Irish Crossings Told" by your band OhAnleigh. At last a real folk CD, without those annoying synthesizers! This is good, honest, handmade roots music, that perfectly fits our radioshow.Theo Oldenburg & Johanna Bodde Radio Winschoten, The Netherlands

It is very good record, I play it in my radioshows.Aimar Ventsel, Estonian Radio

Your CD creates such magnificent images. From its first chords you start on an exciting journey to a beautiful Irish land. Your album is very expressive and poetical! It should be in the collection of everybody who loves folk music. Serge Kozlovsky, Independent musical critic http://mkmk.com/kozlovsky Radio Minsk, Belarus

...a lovely album- looking forward to future releases. John Ford, KAOS-fm Olympia Community Radio, Washington

You folk are great!!!! Love your CD "Of Irish Crossings Told." It's a great mix of fun and fine tunes-ship! I especially love "Irish in America." I'm playing all tracks! Mitchell Mendys, programmer/dj WKNH radio and webcast Keene NH USA


About O'hAnleigh: Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The Middlebury trio óhAnléigh draws on their ancestral roots and diverse musical talent to entertain audiences with the lively and haunting rhythms of Irish and Irish American culture.


The band got its start in early 2002 when Tom Hanley, a 2nd generation Irishman descended of immigrants from Counties Laois and Roscommon, was asked to entertain an audience at a St. Patricks day festival. Tom, who had been performing with a number of bands since the early 70s, was joined by his 12-year old daughter, Becca, whose haunting soprano voice evoked memories of growing up in Irish households. For the next year, Tom and Becca performed at a number of fairs, Irish clubs and events. Though only a teenager, Becca is becoming an accomplished vocalist, being named in successive years to the Vermont All-State Chorus, opening many events with her rendition of the National Anthem and performing both in choirs and as a soloist outside her óhAnléigh performances.


In early 2003, Cindy Hill, a talented fiddler, singer, and performer of traditional Celtic music, joined them. Cindys ancestors hail from Counties Tyrone and Limerick. Cindy played classical violin and piano in her schooldays, and performed in choral groups. Her interest in traditional Celtic music developed from her political activism in the Irish independence movement. Cindy brings her knowledge of Celtic mythology, traditions, and history to the band along with her musical talents.


The band has developed a diverse and unique sound, playing everything from haunting ballads to Irish folk and rollicking pub songs; Irish-American tin pan alley tunes, songs of rebellion, and traditional Celtic sets. This sound stems from their vocal talents Becca's haunting soprano, Cindy's smooth alto, and Tom's baritone, either as soloists or harmonizing. Supporting their vocals are the instruments they play 6 and 12-string guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, bass, fiddle, tenor banjo, penny whistles, harmonica, bowed psaltry, dulcimer, autoharp, bodhráns, bones, spoons, and a variety of other small percussion instruments, many home-made and styled for particular songs.

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

2 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN

Once drove an old sedan, up north,
From a place in Sydney to Cairns;
Then to Kuranda I went forth,
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market,
With fresh fruits of tropical kind;
Walked to the creek through lush thicket -
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe;
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen,
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey,
You go walkabout with your pen.”

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago,
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

(C) David Franks 2003

76 of 230, walkaboutsverse. 741. com: LAND RIGHTS

If there is a good thing
From the Second World War
It’s that most peoples learnt
To conquer lands no more.

In Africa, Asia,
And the Pacific, too:
Post-war independence -
Steps only bigots rue.

But for some indigenes,
Outnumbered much-too-much,
It has all come too late
For liberty, as such.

So ‘tis in Australia,
And America’s sites,
Where the best now, I think,
Is to respect land rights.

(C) David Franks 2003

Hidididdlyho!

I just wanted to mention that I issued something that says "input wanted", and spread the word about it. Hope you don't mind. Here goes:

What song is next? Listen to my music so far on myspace, and tell me what you think. The song that gets mentioned most, wins! For clarity: I do mean a song that is not on my profile already.

Thanks for the attention, and I'm hoping to get lots of feedback on this.

Sláinte,

Wesley

Happy St. Stephen's Day Eire!
Lá Fhéile Stiofán or Lá an Dreoilín
"the Day of the Wren or Wren's Day."

The wren, the wren, the king of all birds,
On St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze,
Up with the kettle and down with the pan,
Give us some money to bury the wren.
