The Cooley Mazurka
The mythical Irish story of The Cattle Raid of Cooley is epic. It could even be true, and this tune could even be a mazurka. This melody is written by me, and is from my new album Between Worlds; Celtic Echoes. You can purchase individual songs or the full album at Bandcamp.https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com/albu…
Lament for Owen Roe O’Neill
A delightful, medieval flavored tune lamenting Owen Roe (c1585- 1649), which I came across from John Renbourn, the English guitarist. You can purchase individual songs or the full album at Bandcamp.https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com/albu…
South Seas
A roving, musically. This video was filmed along the beautiful River Suir. This melody is from my new album Between Worlds; Celtic Echoes. You can purchase individual songs or the full album at Bandcamp.https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com/albu…
John O’Dreams
This is a track from my album, Time & Tide: Celtic Echoes. What an inspired idea by English folk singer Bill Caddick, to put his lyrics to the haunting adagio in Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6. Purchase the full album at https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com
Minuet in G major
This is a track from my album, Time & Tide: Celtic Echoes. This set combines European Baroque and contemporary Gaelic/Irish music. Purchase the full album at https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com
La Nochebuena
This is a track from my album, Time & Tide: Celtic Echoes. In Andalusia, whilst playing around with a melody I saw a daughter swaying gently to it. Inspired, I finished it that very day, Christmas Eve, hence the Spanish title. Purchase the full album at https://jimmycullen.bandcamp.com
Terenure Stomp
Along with a chance meeting and the right venue, the music flowed and we had a night to remember; along with a drop of nostalgia.
Sweet Thames Flow Softly
The timeless Ewan MacColl song as recorded June 2024 in the Clé Club, Liberty Hall, Dublin, on the banks of the river Liffey.
