February session: special guest, Joe Corscadden

We're delighted to welcome Joe Corscadden, from the Sligo Traditional Singers' Circle, as our special guest at this month's Boyle Traditional Singers' session, on Saturday 20th February in Dodd's Crescent Bar.

Joe is a frequent visitor to the Boyle session, and always a popular and an entertaining one. This is the first time he's been the special guest, and we're looking forward to hearing a good deal more of his repertoire, both songs and recitations.

A guaranteed good night, hope to see you all there.

January Man - Christy Moore

One Tony might have sung tonight.

Carols as Gaeilge - Carúil na Nollag

Tá roinnt carúil anseo.

Cé'n fáth nach gcanfá
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Cách 'na suan, dís araon, Dís is dílse ag faire le spéis, Naí beag gnaoi-gheal ceanán tais caomh Críost ina chodladh go séimh, Críost ina chodladh go séimh.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Aoirí ar dtús chuala an scéal, "Aililiuia" aingil ag glaoch Cantain Shuairc i ngar is i gcéin Críost ár Slánaitheoir féin, Críost ár Slánaitheoir féin.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Mac Dé bhí, gáire a bhéil, Tuar dá rá 's dá lán-chur i gcéill, Ann gur tháinig tráth chinn a tséin, Críost a theacht ar an saol, Críost a theacht ar an saol.     nó an ceann is ansa liom féin
Don oíche úd i mBeithil, beidh tagairt ar ghrian go brách Don oíche úd i mBeithil, go dtáinig an Briathar slán
Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha, 's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán Féach íosagán sa chléibhín, 's an Mhaighdean in aoibhneas grá
Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe, go nglacann na haoirí scáth Nuair in oscailt gheal na spéire, tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil
Céad glóir anois don Athair, i bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard Is feasta fós ar talamh, d'fheara, dea-mhéin síocháin

Christmas session, 19 December. Rain - dear songs?

Let's hope there's none, - rain that is.
Forget Rudolph and bring along some Holly and Ivy, full grown.
Join us in Dodd's on Saturday night, 19th December, for traditional carols and any other songs that take your fancy.
