Marcas Ó Murchú - Cooley's Reel and the Wise Maid

A little traditional music from our lunchtime Culture Bite performances. A top talent on flute from the Irish tradition in Marcas Ó Murchú, playing tunes that run together.

Marcas Ó Murchú is widely recognised as a brilliant flute player. He is well-respected locally as teacher of Irish and Spanish at St Columb's College. He has performed and lectured at the University of Ulster (Magee), University of Limerick and University of Elkins in Virginia, USA. Hot Press acclaimed his CD Ó Bhéal go Béal as a masterpiece, and subsequent recordings gained his rhythmical style international recognition. His latest CD, Turas Ceoil on CIC (www.cic.ie) label features musical friends and pupils, including several All-Ireland champions he has tutored. He has performed regularly on television and radio and presented a number of programmes for RTÉ-RnagG, BBC and TG4's Geantraí.
