Solas : Newry Highwayman - Reunion 2006

[@seanforourke]

Legendary performance. All star trad musicians. Love the way the John Doyle comes in on backing vocals for Karen Casey. Really awesome.

I took my young kids to Wolf Trap outside Washington DC to see Solas and other bands on very rainy day in the late 90s. A great shaft of sunlight broke through to bathe the stage during this song. It poured thereafter. Wonderful day (and I have seen them many times since).

Great job. The American Appalachian folk song "Rake and Ramblin' Boy" is a descendant of this song. So many folk songs have variants in tunes and texts from being passed around for 200-300 years. The discoveries of these connections to the old countries is one of the unalloyed joys of my life. ;)

Not a patch on this though

This song in is what made me fall in love with Solas and Karan in particular. Great to see this again. I was unaware of this reunion gig til tonight.

I went to Scotland for 3 days, in 1987. I had to get a German work visa validation from a company in Glasgow. I went to a pub with a taxi driver....live music.......I was gone. Overstayed my visa by 5 months, just hanging around the western islands of Scotland, jamming, listening, learning, talking....drinking. Oh my, how we drank! This is what made me stay, music like this. My name might be Callaghan, paternally, but my Mum is a McLaren from Perthshire and she knows I'm a Scot! Old G-g-g-g-g-g-Grandad James came to Australia in chains on "the Second Fleet". I do my best to uphold his proud tradition of thumbing the nose! And I play his music.

They came to a tiny town in upstate New York back in the 1990's to play at a music festival. THAT, is where I discovered Solas. They've been a part of my love of music ever since.

If Karan isn't the finest vocalist. Then who? Solas is my favorite band. Bar none!
