Mastering Session, Traidphicnic and Tunes
It was a busy busy week but also very rewarding. Mastering Session with Richard Dowling at WavMastering Limerick was a treat again; he sure knows his stuff! Some minor edits and final touches to the Cover design and then the CD will be off to the pressing plant; land in sight:-
Traidphicnic in Spiddal was a great weekend. Fantastic music, great atmosphere and the Connemara Gig on Sunday sure was fun; thanks to all that danced, sang and listened in the rain!
Busy week
All go here. Had a lovely rehearsal with the Connemara Gang for Sunday’s Traidphicnic Fest gig at 6.45 on Mainstage; Ceardlann, Spiddal. Couple more days to get mixes finalized before Mastering Session of the forthcoming CD with Lena Ullman. Phew!
Also, the end-of-year student concert in Tigh Giblin’s upstairs last Saturday was great; some fine music was played! Sessions in Donnelly’s in Barna and Padraigin’s in Furbo and Taaffe’s in Galway over the weekend. Check out the gig listing….
