Colm Mac Con Iomaire
The Irish fiddle player Colm Mac Con Iomaire is probably best known for his work with the Frames.
He’s also toured extensively with Swell Season. But, like many talented musicians in a band set-up, he’s always had that yearning to produce a solo album that reflects his personal views and vision.
Michael Flatley
Riverdance has come a long way since it had its first little seven minute slot during the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994.
From those humble beginnings it has become a worldwide phenomenon.
I hadn’t realised that Irish band The Fureys also had their mother to thank for inspiring them to record, When You Were Sweet 16.
I came across the story while browsing YouTube recently.
There’s a rather scratchy video of The Fureys performing the song in the 1980s. In the introduction, Finbar Furey described how they came to record it.

He said that they learnt the song from their father Ted, who was also a very successful musician and an inspiration to his sons.
