- The Clare musician Micho Russell plays two jigs and sings a song in Bunratty.
Micho (Michael) Russell (1915 - 1994) the musician and singer from Doolin is credited with establishing that village as the centre of traditional music in Ireland.
From a musical family in Doonagore, his brother Gus is a highly regarded concert flute and tin whistle player, while his late brother Pakie was a renowned concertina player.
This unassuming Clare man has performed internationally and is introduced by presenter Tony MacMahon as,
One of the few people who has a unique, very personal, simple, comfortable direct style of playing.
Micho Russell performs two jigs on the flute, ‘The Cook In The Kitchen’ and ‘The Yellow Wattle’, and sings a song.
This episode of ‘Bring Down The Lamp’ was broadcast on 19 January 1983. Presented by Tony MacMahon it was recorded in the Bunratty Folk Centre, County Clare.
The series ‘Bring down the Lamp’ ran between 1982 and 1983, presented by Tony MacMahon and produced by Niall Matthews, both from County Clare. It was filmed on location and showcased different regional styles of Irish traditional music in fifteen episodes.
Musician and broadcaster Tony MacMahon explained to the RTÉ Guide that “The object is to show what a wealth of solo traditional musicians there is all over the country. They form the backbone of our traditional music and yet they remain almost anonymous.” (RTÉ Guide 12 November 1982, p.17).
A successful series of the same name had been broadcast in 1968, which had also visited different areas in Ireland, gathering the local talent into a kitchen set. The title came from an old country saying, referring to the beginning of a ‘do’ in a local house. - Розваги
I was lucky to meet micho at his home when i was a teen. He was very gracious and played some tunes with me on whistle.
Micho is my great grand uncle. His grand nephew played a beautiful tune on the feadóg at Michos nephews funeral last year
An irish legend
ah i see
I love Micho. He plays like a pure child
Love him! 💚Discovered him last year, indeed he plays cheerfully but i'd say he was a hard f*cker if ya crossed him...the steamroller and himself would smoke you out! 🤣🎶☘💪
The legend that is Micho Russell will live forever in the epic Christy Moore classic Lisdoonvarna.
Yes, Christy the communist, who is happily flushing down the plughole, our traditions and culture, in his support of open border mass immigration and the proposed hate speech law's, that will have the native Irish as second class citizens in their own country.
I'm from Galway and we have no choice but to hand it to Clare but we did have Joe Cooley on the box. Editing to add Joe Burke. Apologies Joe.
Excellent 👌👌
