Music reviews of Feadoga Stain 2Music Review: Queen Mary of the Tin Whistle! Pioneering Early Work.
Failte! (Greetings). Feadoga Stain ("whistle tunes" in Irish Gaelic)number one was seriously handicapped by the music recording technology of the mid 1970's. However, don't dare to criticize the playing unless you can play along and keep pace. The tinwhistle and the bodhran (Irish Drum, pronounced Boe-rahn or Bow-rahn) are the very best of the best ever recorded. The second recording is not as handicapped for recording technology, and is a real gem of Celtic Music history. Mary is in an elite group of musicians that includes Paddy Moloney, Joannie Madden, Laurence Nugent, and Joe McKenna. Her fluid, fast paced tunes are her trademark sound. Mary was doing fast paced, fluid whistling in the mid 1970's, and stretched the envelope for playing forever more. The same can be said of Johnny McDonagh. Current bodhran players are playing fast paced doublets and triplets, using drums without crossbars, using a backside technique to alter the tone, use a full range of tones, use rim strokes to accent, and are playing expressively to the music. Guess who pioneered these techniques in the early and mid 1970's? It may even be fair to say that this percussion instrument would have been relegated to a historic artifact status if Johnny hadn't streched the envelope by a wide margin. Previously, the bodhran was an outdoor instrument for parades and wakes, with the performer playing loudly and dancing at the same time. Johnny is in an elite group of Bodhran players that include Tommy Hayes, Kevin Conneff (Cheiftains), Frank Torpey(Nomos), John Joe Kelly (Flook) and Donnchadh Gough(Danu). Mary and Johnny together have a set of jigs and reels here that can be said to be the prototype of fine Irish music for these instruments over the last three decades. How about a reunion album? Feodoga Stain 3? Eire go Brach! (Ireland Forever!).
