Show Notes

Our guest on this episode of the Tunes From Doolin Podcast is Mary MacNamara, the great concertina player from East Clare.  Mary just released her wonderful book “Sunday’s at Lena’s” and welcomes us to her music room in Tulla where we talk about her book, growing up as a young musician in East Clare and the musicians who influenced her (Mikey Donoghue, Bill Malley & Joe Bane, Martin Rochford, John Naughton), foot tapping, moving to Dublin from Tulla, and much, much more.

The tunes played by Mary MacNamara on this episode are :

  • Jigs from Mikey Donoghue
  • The Old Bush / The Swallow’s Tail (Reels from Martin Rochford)
  • Gan Ainm / The Cuckoo’s Nest (Hornpipes from Bill Malley)
  • The Killavil / The Pipe On the Hob (Jigs)*

*Duet with Charles Monod
