THE STAR OF DONEGAL
Fiddling Talk & Tunes
JOHNNIE DOHERTY
Folktracks, 1975, FSA-60=075
Johnnie Doherty (1900-1980) was indeed a real ''star'' in Donegal and beyond. This tape was recorded in 1952 by Peter Kennedy and Sean O'Boyle when Doherty was still a pedlar. There are tunes of course but also some talking about his family and way of life (4 tracks). This tape is part of a series about J. Doherty but this is the only one I have for the moment.There is a short text about his music.
So if you particularly like Donegal fiddling you should listen to that ...
