Chonaic mé John Spillane don chéad uair seachtain go leith ó shin ag The Roundy mar chuid den oiche Gaeilge eagraithe ag na daoine ag People’s Republic of Cork.  Sheinn sé i ndiaidh an ghrúpa traidisiúnta Na Ceapairí Grá.  Gan amhras, tá aithne agam ar na hamhráin atá aige ach thaitin an taispeántas seo go mór liom.  Tá Ghaeilge breá ag John, rud a léirítear in an-chuid dá hamhráin atá scríofa as Gaeilge.  Tá mé ag éisteacht leis an albam “The Wells of the World” faoi láthair,  a eisítear ós cionn deich mbliana ó shin, agus tá an stíl bog cneasta fós le feiceáil in a chuid cheol na laethanta seo.  B’é Orca Orca Killer Whale an amhrán ab fhearr ar an oíche.  Insíonn sé seo scéal na horcaithe a tháinig suas abhainn na Lí cúpla blian ó shin.  Chan sé amhráin iontach eile chomh maith, There Was a Man, atá eisithe aige le déanaí.  Is féidir éisteacht leis seo faoi láthair ar an MySpace ag John Spillane.

Tá pictiúr nó dhó eile agam san set iomlán ar Flickr.   Dála an scéil, má fheiceann tú aon botúin anseo le mo chuid Gaeilge, bheinn buíoch má sheolann tú ríomh-phost chugam ag photos [ag] donal.ie.

Sean Kelleher played support to Aaron Dillon in The Roundy recently.  I don’t know much about him and I can’t find a website for him but he’s another one to keep an eye out for.  Sometimes a support act isn’t up to much but he kept the crowd interested with his well-crafted songs.

I’m off to see David Kitt in the Savoy now.

Aaron Dillon played at The Roundy on Sunday November 4th last. You may not have heard of him yet but I think you will do in the future; his inimitable style is sure to get him noticed. Keep an eye out for his debut album which is coming out in early 2008. Although Sunday night is never the best time to go to a gig, it was one of the more enjoyable gigs I’ve been to in recent times: a nice relaxed evening with great music and atmosphere.

The poster for the event used one of my pictures from the Opera House when he supported Mick Flannery.

There are a few more photos over on Flickr in the full set.

Update: Aaron Dillon is playing a few gigs over the next month, you can catch him in The Blackbird in Ballycotton on December 1st and he supports Mick Flannery again in the Everyman Palace on the 16th December.
