Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh - The back loft

for the “Music for the night” series: a song for night spells.

A young and talented fiddler who gives new sense to Irish folk music (at least to me). Already his names sounds so foreign and speaks about druids and northern myths; having just finished to read (for the N.th time) The Lord Of The Rings can only add more charm to his music which makes me dream of the Shire and Hobbits’ dances.

He collaborates with other great (and unknown, till today) Irish folk artists - about which I’ll talk about in this blog in the next future. (will I remember to do that? ah the mysteries of life ;))

NB. I found this video on Lisa Hannigan’s blog.
