ve been somewhat familiar with the pictured band, Le Vent du Nord, for a number of years, having first heard them on Marcel Raymond’s (RIP) wonderful show L’Heure Francais on WCUW. Last night I had the absolute pleasure of seeing these incredible musicians from Quebec in person at an incredible venue in Greensboro, Vermont ( pop. 811) The Highland Center for the Arts. It was incredible!My advice to music lovers is that if this band is in your area make a point of seeing them.As I mentioned to them while buying a couple of CDs, for the last 20 years I have organized gigs exclusively for Irish music. I would make an exception for Le Vent du Nord.

James Cullinan passed away recently. He was an outstanding fiddle player from Co. Clare who, within the last 6 or so months, released his highly anticipated debut solo album. It did not disappoint by any stretch. Dozens of friends, family and fans showed up to cheer him on in November at his CD launch at The Olde Ground. It was the most well attended launch I have been to over the years I have attended the Ennis Trad Festival. Undoubtedly a genuine indication of how highly he was regarded as a person and musician. The accompanying clip was taken by me at Kelly’s on Carmody Street in Ennis in 2021. James is on the fiddle, his wife Carol on the keyboards. I’m afraid that I don’t know who the banjo player is but the box player to his left is the Clare legend, Andrew MacNamara. The couple dancing on the left is Dan Brouder and Angelina Carberry, two great musicians also who had been playing but got up to do some dancing. RIP James. Hup!!
