Peadar O'Donnell was born in County Donegal, Ireland in 1893. He attended St Patrick's College, Dublin, where he trained as a teacher. He taught on Arranmore Island before spending time in Scotland.
O'Donnell joined the Irish Republican Army (IRA) during the War of Independence. He was imprisoned in Mountjoy Gaol and went on hunger-strike for 41 days.
Oh my Gawd! That was incredible. Cookin'! Douglas blows my mind and with this ensemble feeding off of him, just amazing. Those improvised doublebass bow-rips are so cool.
only heard him do this solo before, both sound great but it was especially nice hearing the ensemble thicken the sound, slightly more "folky" in the literal sense, great stuff :D
Beyond the music ( a real dream ) we MUST say how much the quality of each " Transatlantic Sessions " movie is HIGH , pictures , colors , lights ... ( on both series ) HATS OFF to the director ( s ) and his / her team !!!
