THE FOXROCK FOLK CLUB

As Luke Kelly remarked when he played the club in December 1972, a folk club in the suburb of Foxrock was a somewhat unlikely combination. Probably even more unlikely was the fact it was organised and run by teenagers and managed to attract to Foxrock some of the biggest names on the Irish music scene (see Folk Club History & "Local and Visiting Artists").

The aim of the Foxrock Folk Club Project is to (1) research the history of the club (2) develop a club archive and (3) create a space in which people who played at the club or attended some of the sessions can share their memories of what was an unique musical and cultural experience.

JOHN O'REGAN ON LIMERICK CITY COMMUNITY RADIO

John O'Regan of Limerick City Community Radio played another track from the album on his radio programme 'Eclectic Celt' on Sunday 10 January. His choice this time was Donal Lunny's recording of High Germany and as John said, though Donal Lunny recorded with the band 'Emmett Spiceland', he was a regular performer in the folk clubs but there are not many recordings of him playing solo.
