Who killed James Joyce?

Message of Peace

Who killed James Joyce? "I have once again returned to the brimming well of Irish poetry and summoned a meitheal of poets, from both living and the dead, to bring home a bountiful literary harvest. Most of these poems have not been previously set to music and from the moment I clapped eyes on them they sung to me."

Message of Peace 'Message of Peace’ tells the amazing story of a lesser-known Irish hero John Boyle O’Reilly. In this Double CD Tyrrell effortlessly traces his journey from early childhood set against a backdrop of famine, revolution, Fenianism and penal servitude for life in Australia and his great escape from there to the USA. Tyrrell’s love of traditional music is very much to the fore as the story is cleverly tied together with jigs, reels, a march, and a few slow airs. Using an array of instruments, Seán weaves effortlessly between narrative, instrumental and song. Buy Message of Peace Now!

Tyrrell Glackin Browne

It is a long time in the coming but at last it is about to be released a new Cd in May on Cló Iar -Chonnachta 'So The Story Goes' with my two good friends and longtime time collaborators Kevin Glackin and Ronan Browne. It was well worth being involved if only for the first selection of tunes a pair of the sweetest hornpipes you are likey to hear. But there is a lot more than that as you would expect when you are in the company of such great musicians.

Close friends for many decades, Seán, Kevin and Ronan have toured and played socially since the early 1980s. Years of pressure from fans and friends have at last led to them making this recording of songs and tunes.

Unsurprisingly, this CD is true to their concert performances – a comfortable balance of gentle and wild pieces, never suffering from that immobilising modern ailment, over-production; just warm, friendly music and song. The tracks are rounded out beautifully by the delicately responsive accompaniment of three fine musicians, Fergus Feely on mandola, Jimmy Fitzgerald on guitar and Paul O’Driscoll on double bass.
