"it's like if you untangled an irish session,
hung up the choicest bits each in front
of its own glowing christmas light
and viewed it through 3D glasses
made of paper and cellophane."

Born in Dublin, and now living in a home for the bewildered,
Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh is an international peculiarity.
He makes awesome music from fiddles
and is known to be fond of keeping chickens.
Once upon a time, he studied Theoretical Physics,
and now looks at the night sky in perplexity.

Visit where the one-eyed man is king at CD Baby, iTunes or PayPlay.fm - a curious little record I made very recently indeed. The good people at CD Baby let you listen to a two minute clip of each track. How fantastic!

Aye, I heard Johannsen and Chequerboard were pretty great last night! Christchurch tonight - my sister was singing with national youth choir! Nice! There's an idea knocking around about a space for musicians to hang out together and jam out of a pub setting. Interested?
Caoimhin-oleen! (I don't know how to do fadas on Mickey Dunne's computer -- the Irish keyboard is different than mine! So pardon the fada-less typing of your name, haha.) I'll be in Dub for a few days again before I head back to the old states, so maybe I'll catch you before I leave? Here's to hoping yes. Take care and be well! :}
I think it would be awesome if you put Ragworms and torchlight on a record or on itunes. It's a powerful and beautiful song... and i can't carry around my laptop to access your myspace to hear all the time.... :-(
Hi I'll see you in the tea-room on Monday morning, or will you be around for the launches on Sunday? Give me a shout, I'll be staying at the usual place.
Looking forward to it and to seeing all my Irish buddies again.
