Hi all, thanks so much for visiting. For the last few weeks (months, hhmm) I haven’t been able to update my website and hadn’t had much of a chance to look into the glitches too (finishing my PhD research into music in Galway City made time pretty tight). Finally and thankfully my amazing bro’ Tilli has just spent a good few hours sorting the issues out. Thank you Tilli! Here is a little clip from a recent concert in Ballindereen, playing before Jim Rooney, Sean Keane, Mick Daly and Frank Hall, which was great fun. Seán O’Malley on uilleann pipes, Fintan O’ Malley on guitar.

amazing walk along Galway Bay today and a nice few hours spent in my favourite “office” (@Salthill Hotel)…. tunes tomorrow Sunday The Thatch Oranmore, 8pm start… Anna Falkenau, Seán O Malley uilleann pipes, Fintan O Malley guitar singer … all welcome

Looking forward to this launch event this Wednesday, 6pm UTC of a publication to which I was delighted to contribute, with a focus on Irish traditional music in Galway, 1960s/1970s….you can find the zoom link via this link attached… would be lovely to see some of ye there :-
