Come Over the Mountain Road (Part 1)

​Exploring Irish traditional music & musicians of South Sligo / East Mayo
with James Murray, Tubbercurry

Over the last year I visited James Murray on three separate occasions. This was prompted in part by my interest in documenting, preserving and openly sharing the history of our traditional music, song and storytelling and in part when I learnt of James’ willingness to share his lifetime of memories playing Irish music. James is a fiddle & flute player for over 70 years and during that time he has collected the history of Irish music of his own and many previous generations of musicians in the South Sligo & East Mayo region of Ireland.

This is Part 1 of what will be a multi-part series of my meetings with James, which I hope you will enjoy.
