Jimmy was reading, this is my Crazy World, Chris's autobiography today, and spent a bit of time relaxing and enjoying that. So it's a great book. If you ever get a chance to read it, it's warts and all, as you say. Anyway, we welcome our first guest. And it's great to see them back. Well, the last night we were talking to them was our Christmas show down in Cabin Blakes here in Leonard County, where they will be performing tonight. We welcome the Gulliver Trad Band. How are you doing, folks? Yo. The excitement is just coming out. You can see. But, anyway, listen, I'm only joking. Keron, hello to you. Christopher, James and Robert. Yous are all very welcome. And Keron, we'll start with you. Busy, have you been since we were talking to you last? Yeah, we've been flat out. You know, we started in Blakes there, kind of just after the pandemic. And we're all dying to get back playing music. Kevin approached us and basically asked us to play a few tunes on a Monday night. And it started off, it was quite enough, but it picked up momentum very, very quick. And since the throughout the summer then, we had Dylans across the road. And it brought a lot of tourists in. And then we had people coming in from all over Ireland and all over Europe. It's been brilliant. And it was brilliant to see new people coming in with instruments and, you know, you have different styles then playing. On a Monday night, Keron, when you're performing, is it a, I'm not saying a free for all, but is it an open mic type thing? Oh, yes. Well, the three or four of us are always there. Plus we have Thorus, things as well, and plays with us. And, but we love to see new people coming and love to see new instruments come in. Do you get that in a regular basis? People just dropping in with instruments? We do, you know, people come in different instruments and especially people around holidays, staying across the road or in the town. And people be looking for a trad session because for a while there it was scarce. And, you know, even after the pandemic, people love to get out and play music with other people again, you know. People, I think they might have a more appreciation of music now. Or Sean Keane was up with us last Monday night. Sean was down with us. Yeah, he was, yeah. Did he sing or did he? No, he didn't. No. No, he was in good form now. That's it. A great singer he is and an absolute gentleman. Right, I'll tell you what, before we talk more now, we're going to a piece of music if you don't mind. Yeah, and so we'll play three jigs. The first one's called The Humours of Bally Lachlan. The second jig is called Cook in the Kitchen. And the last one was a good Dunny Gaul tune called The Dunny Gaul Last. Oh, when you're ready, they'll let her try it back. What you did to get her tried, man. Live in studio this Monday night, don't forget. After the leave here, they are going straight down live. What time did you kick off there around about nine-ish? About nine o'clock, yeah. Nine o'clock to whatever time we're throwing out. And very pretty Kevin on the team down there, good supporters of Irish music and good supporters of ourselves all over Christmas. And all with a good session down there at Christmas. And one for the memory books, definitely. And we'll go to yourself, James. You're the main man. Well, sorry, maybe the oldest one. Tell us a bit about the beginning of the Gaul and her tribe band. Just go on a wee bit if you don't mind, sorry. Me too, lads, here. We were messing about in the house, really, just playing a few tunes and learning what to do. And on myself, I'd been playing for a long time. And Kevin took up the concertina. Piano first, really. And then the concertina. And Christie plays the guitar. And suppose Jimi Hendrix and Motorhead would be his first choice, you know? Yes. There's not much of that around here. Like there is a bit, I suppose, but... Yeah, well, there's some difference, Christie, between that and Trad. Yeah, it took a while to get you to sit, but you know... You work into it, well. Ah, yeah. You know, after you're practicing and playing, especially, he helps playing the people. And you're doing that for six months or so. Oh, you really know. Tell me this, do you play another band? No, it's to be the highlight of my career here. The highlight of your career this far. Yeah, this far, right. Now, you enjoy the Trad scene? Oh, I love it, yeah. And tell me, good stuff. And James, if you just go back to yourself, you don't mind, sorry. But the Trad scene, when you started it up here, what was it like? Well, I didn't start it myself, but, you know... About your own family sort of connection, I mean, sorry. Well, there wasn't much happening after the lockdown and all that, you know. So, Blakes was a great chance to get out playing again. And, you know, playing music on your own in the house or just between the three of us, you know. Isn't as good as when you have an audience, you know. And that's great to have an audience and people that are there for the music, you know. And plus, the music gives great atmosphere and the pulp as well. And as Kieran was saying, when you have the lake of tourists and things about it, it's a big help. That is, yeah, it's a big help, you know. Because, I suppose Irish people can get a bit fed up with Irish music. Whereas, you know... If you've had an audience every week, maybe it's different, is it? Yeah, well, when you see tourists coming in, they love it, you know. It's a great drop of hope as well, you know. Of course. That's great to see it, and long may it continue. That's great, yeah. The, your setlist that you do, do you change it much, or do you stick the more less the same or what? No, we don't really have a setlist as such, you know. It's basically what we play now, you know. And we'll try these few tunes, or maybe we'll try a few horn pipes now, or does anybody want to sing a song, you know. That's just basically the way we do it, you know. And we're always building up on our setlist as well, like, you know. And do you play anywhere else? Well, I play in the station house on a Wednesday night with McDuddy, and Ronald McCann on that, you know. Oh, right, yeah. So, yes. It's great to see it back up again, and I'm sure you're like everyone else too, the rest of yous are. You had a must of big time on the... Oh, absolutely, yeah. Were you doing anything online at that time, were you? No. No, not a lot of them, so I don't know. You're probably like everybody else, you didn't know was it going to come back at all. Well, this is it, you know. You know, yeah, it worked. Well, it's great to see it back, and long made last. Robert, yourself on the ballroom there. Yes. Peaking away. Yep. Great stuff. It's just, how long have you been with this group? I've been playing with this group since, maybe, November, this last year. Oh, that's right. Not that long, but I've been playing drag for over 10 years now. Mm-hmm. Are you self-taught on the ballroom? Self-taught, aye. Do you play any other instruments? Guitar. Guitar. And we've been on a single role, a single role accordion as well. Huh? Or did he? Do you play much, or just? I'm not a good but, I am not a good but. I used to play in McGrory's, in Calaf, I used to play in Mallon, and session in Mallon Town. Uh-huh. To be village. Been to Balba Feta Killers playing, and played in Derry, to you a lot of sessions in Derry in Tunnings, and Derry be barred, played Belfast, played in Antrim, who have been about a good but, you know. Later Kenny, on a Monday night, this Kenny, like a residency I call it, sort of, on a Monday night, I mean. That's good, that's a good way to do it. And, you know, I think it's different and unique from the fact that, you know, your audience changes all the time, which is good too, you know. That's right, guys. So then you have to regular as I come in all the time. Oh, I know, I appreciate that. They have a few characters that comes on them, things, a few songs, you know, it's a good crack, you know. That's what it's all about, isn't it? Yeah, it's all about that. But the crack is right. Well, as I say, they play in Blake's Bar, they're there tonight, and it's at every Monday night. Every Monday. Every Monday, yeah. Yeah. Fair play to Kevin, he kept it going all winter as well. Yeah, that's it. He what? He kept it going all winter as well. Aye, aye. So fair play to Kevin, and all the bar stuff too, they're very good. Oh, I get to look out at the bar stuff. That's it. They fairly look out at the roadside, but you're the injured man, fair play, you know. But all right, listen, we're not going to hold you because we know you're busy tonight, but I want to thank you for coming up. Is the flag coming up now shortly? Yeah, the flag's coming up now. It's 9 to the 15th, yeah. Are you just getting balls in that, or? Yeah, well, hopefully, we'll be playing sessions around the town, and there'll be plenty happening. Just different various pubs involved in it. So there'll be plenty of music about the town that weekend, and there'll be a crack, and hopefully plenty of people stay on too. That's it, yeah, and it'll bring the crowds on. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. And yourself, Keron, you're performing also along with a good friend, Joe, Joe Gibson. Yes, yes. It's Sailor Bill. Yeah, I play piano with Sailor Bill, and it's a great opportunity to play with them, like, and we just released a new song there. Aila. Called Aila, yeah. So actually we were on a trip up to Aila with Emerald Guitars. I've seen the video. I've seen the, well, one of the videos. Hi. Excuse me, that Alistair put out. That's right, yeah. It seemed like you're having a good time. It was a great time, and there was great music played, and it's a beautiful place, if anyone ever gets to travel up there. So yeah, no, so we wrote a song about it, and we decided ourselves we'd do a gig up there, and we went up with Emerald Guitars, record a bit of footage up there as well, and yeah, so basically that was it. And now our song has been released a few weeks ago there on Spotify, so you can find it if you search Sailor Bill on Spotify. We'll give it a spin now. We'll give it a spin now before we go this evening. Definitely will, and it's always great to see Joe and everybody making great music. We'd love to get an odd piece of music off you, if you don't mind. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to take an outbreak, but what are you coming back with? A few reels. Yeah, I'll play a few reels. Right, after this break live, and she'll go out and try a band on Monday Night Sessions here on Highland Radio.
