New albums and book from Sliabh Luachra musicians

Eoin Stan O'Sullivan, the Sliabh Luachra Musician in Residence, will launch a new music book and CD at the Patrick O'Keeffe Festival in October.
The Sliabh Luachra Musician in Residence, is an initiative by Kerry, Cork and Limerick County Councils to help bolster the massive efforts in Sliabh Luachra to grow its unique music culture.
O'Sullivan has held the position since 2018 and is currently fulfilling a new plan that began in April this year.
“This will be for teachers, students and anyone starting to play the local repertoire. The tune book will be promoted at another series of school concerts and workshops this autumn,” Caroline Lynch of the Creative Ireland Kerry Office said.
“In October at the Patrick O'Keeffe Festival, Eoin hopes to release another new CD. This one will be from an exciting Kerry trio featuring concertina, fiddle and guitar.”
In June Eoin released a new album by accordion player Pat Fleming. This release was the fifth on the label that was set up to promote Sliabh Luachra related music. There are also albums available by Bryan O'Leary, Maura O'Connor and Emma O'Leary.
An education programme is one of the main pillars of the Residency Plan. In May and June Eoin ran 10 concerts in primary and secondary schools around the county.
They were funded by the Local Live Performance Scheme from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and Kerry County Council. The series featured Kerry-based musicians Greta Curtin, Conor Moriarty, Bryan O'Leary, Noreen O'Shea, Mike Coult, Matt Griffin, and also Leah Murphy and Conor O'Sullivan from Cork.
