Two excerpts have been added to the African Blackwood Conservation<\/a> page of Martin Doyle’s web site. In May of this year, Martin Doyle featured on a BBC Radio 4<\/a> program entitled Sounding Post which was produced by Nina Perry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Nina Perry takes a musical journey tracing the wood used in making musical instruments back to the forest, from an Irish flute maker and a Los Angeles-based guitarist to the Mpingo Conservation Project in Tanzania.” – BBC Radio 4.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately Sounding Post is not currently available online<\/del> ( since early 2015, it can be heard here: Sounding Post<\/a> ). The two excerpts that have been added to Martin’s web site feature Martin talking about flute making and playing music on a ‘fresh off the lathe’ flute. The tune that Martin plays during the course of the interview is called Na Ceannabh\u00e1in Bh\u00e1na<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And on that note, here is a video clip that offers another version of Na Ceannabh\u00e1in Bh\u00e1na played by the late Kitty Hayes<\/a> (concertina) and Clare piper Peter Laban<\/a> (Uilleann pipes). Recorded in May 2008 at Miltown Malbay<\/a> in County Clare<\/a>, Kitty and Peter play two slip jigs actually – the afore mentioned Na Ceannabh\u00e1in Bh\u00e1na and also Hardiman the Fiddler<\/a>. Enjoy…<\/p>\n
