Does anyone know how I can contact James McNally? My mum has asked me too, as they were childhood friends, James taught my mum how to play the whistle but she has about as much musical capabilities as a dead camel. James also played at my parents wedding, and my mum and dad who were very good friends with James lost contact with him a few years after he played at the wedding. This christmas I got a tin whistle and have been practising and it reminded my mum and dad about james and they wondered if we could contact him somehow. I know James used to play at the favorite in highbury with Macmanomon, and too prove my story to james, your first little band was named after some mountains in County Mayo, Joseph Gaughan of Yoakly road also would like to say hello.

I don't know if James still plays with the Afro-Celts or not, but if so, they may have a website through which you can contact him. Failing that, try the record company who released Everybreath, his solo album, as they will certainly have a current address on file (for the payment of royalties) and to which your message can be forwarded. Personally, I have not seen or heard hide nor hair of him since 1994, but I hope he is hale and hearty.

They've played at the HebCeltFest a couple of times, they closed the festival this year, but unfortunatly i have missed both time. This year I had to go away on the Saturday morning to play in some football competition. Wish I saw them.

They made some very good records, but I think they also made a couple of real duffers- namely, Pod and Anatomic.

Afro Celt Sound System is a great band. I own....

Volume 1: Sound Magic
Volume 2: Release
Volume 3: Further In Time
Seed
Anatomic

My favorite would be Volume three, I love all types of world music including african. Ali Farka Toure, Amadou et Mariam, Seydu, Konono N1, and many other great African bands. So the mix of the different genres makes for some very interesting music.

I like the song that Sinead O'Connor was on. I don't know the name but I found it on some compilation CD -- either that, or I found the song on iTunes and downloaded it. I can't remember. The song is excellent though. Good powerful drums and great uilleann piping too. Yes! I do like some of Sinead's singing even if she acts like a stupid arse most of the time.

Sorry James ! :oops:

storm were awesome live though...with loads of banjo aswell as guitar from Tommy..so many instruments....at the same time :?: :!: :?:

and James can play that whistle...


Thanks Clarky, I will try and hunt a copy down. Storm were due to appear at my university back in 1990/1. I went along to the gig, only find a sign on the door saying "Cancelled- due to illness in the band". I was gutted.
p.s. If you are the same Clarky I think you are (Jamie), do you have any plans to tour the UK in the near future?

Wow. The synchronicity....it may just be me. I was just reading an ad here in Oz for an Irish event looking for a guest Irishman. The host of said events surname was MacManamon. He lives in Manilla, New South Wales, as opposed to say Manila, Philipines :) But I mean, I read his name on the Sydney 2006 St. Patrick's Day official parade website not 5 minutes before seeing Tommy's name here. *oooh, spooooky!* :wink:
