2nd: As I Roved Out
Songs of May
Fear a Tí: Seán Ó hEarcáinn
“Now is the month of maying, when merry lads are playing, fa la
Each with his bonny lass, upon the greeny grass, fa la”
Thomas Morley –1558 -1602
“We roamed the fields and river sides, when we were young and gay;
We chased the bees and plucked the flowers
Iin the merry, merry month of May.
“Oh yes, with ever changing sports wewhiled the hours away
The skies were bright, our hearts were light
In the merry, merry month of May….”
Stephen Foster

16th: Phil Callery
Fear a Tí: Diarmuid Breatnach
Phil Callery began his singing career in the Dublin Folk Clubs scene in the late sixties. He went on to found the first "Singers Club" in Dublin in 1970, which he modeled on Ewan MacColl's famous "Listeners Club" in London. The "Singers Club" provided a platform in the early seventies for such names as Dolores Keane, Triona and Maighread Ní Dhomhnaill, Mary Black, Christy Moore, Luka Bloom, Paul Brady and many more. The "Singers Club" was a forerunner to the "Goilin" Traditional Singers Club.Phil later joined with Fran McPhail and Gerry Cullen to form “The Voice Squad” where the union of the distinct tenor voices of Fran and Phil plus the bass of Gerry, along with their own particular arrangements of good songs, made them one of the most distinctive unaccompanied singing groups ever to come out of Ireland. In 2012 the group reformed for a concert on St. Patrick's Day in Dublin's National Concert Hall.
In 1999 Phil released his first solo album "From The Edge of Memory" and earlier this year he released his most recent album “Landscape of the Past”.
23rd: Barry Gleeson
Bean a Tí: Nóra Geraghty
Clé Club stalwart Barry Gleeson sings songs from his new CD, Tough Night.
Barry Gleeson is a traditional Irish singer from Artane, Dublin. He generally sings unaccompanied and has been a stalwart of the Góilín Traditional Singers' Club for more than 25 years. Barry has performed at the National Concert Hall, the Mansion House and at festivals and clubs in Ireland, England, Scotland and America. His highly individual and expressive style is a reflection of a rich and varied range of material and influences.
Urban or rural, patriotic or music hall, sea shanty or parlour song, from the ballads of anonymous poets to those of James Joyce and WB Yeats, Barry imbues all with freshness and energy in his own unique style.
His two previous CDs, Path Across the Ocean and I Heard a Bird at Dawn have enhanced his reputation as one of Ireland's foremost traditional singers and he will be entertaining us with songs from his latest CD, Tough Night, which will be on sale at the club.
