WE RECORDED Kitty on a lovely summers day in 2001 in the kitchen of her daughter Angelas house in Ennis.
Anyone familiar with previous Clachán recordings will know that kitchens are important to us! Kitty and Dympna started off the session and Yvonne dropped by 4 or 5 hours later to finish it.
Quentin sat away in the corner with the technology and the rest of us had tea and cake. There were no breaks as Kitty loves the music and loves to play. Her whole body sways and shifts to the rhythm and her eyes twinkle with the simple joy of music and friendship.At various stages over the day family members and friends dropped in to view the proceedings, silently danced half-sets, drank more tea, and thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. At the start of track 10 you can hear Kittys baby grandson Joseph gurgling his encouragement. We
include Kitty and Angela singing a verse and I think it captures the atmosphere and emotions present. Family and friend delighted that a very special person was being recorded playing beautiful, rhyth-mic, traditional Irish, West Clare concertina music
