Yo, desde Colombia, en un pequeño pueblo, he gozado intensamente con la música que me regalas.

I think, without commiting to any "romantic" way of looking at serious questions, that it is of a clear and solid contribution to musical education and to culture what websites like this does.<br /><br />I think common sense must prevail here. The benefit is wider and clearer than the harm.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Tiago<br /><br />P.S..: Thanks for the tip. I shall look for the Claddagh Records' Shop when in Dublin (I'm also very interested in the wonderful catalogue of DVDs they have there!).that's all folk!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04738507992647501637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968542165299439860.post-57937399613585304062010-08-07T15:04:22.757+01:002010-08-07T15:04:22.757+01:00Hi Tom,
I think you'll have to answer that qu...Hi Tom,<br /><br />I think you'll have to answer that question yourself, but there are issues, certainly. I haven't been issued with any take-down notices, despite the actions of certain individuals who like to make the law of copyright their personal business. This blog is an experiment, and I am surprised it has lasted this long to be honest. The fact is that copyright owners and musicians don't care as much for the details of copyright law as a certain type of anonymous internet lurker who, lacking autonomous power, attempts to aprropriate some of the power of the law vicariously. Mostly by writing whining emails to musicians and music companies who, fortunately, care very little about this sort of thing...<br /><br />As far as the Paddy Taylor LP goes, it was legally available for download for a short while - information as to why it was taken down has been unforthcoming, and if I am contacted in an official capacity, requesting the take-down of this album, I will comply without hesitation.Dragut Reishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256728779381297103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968542165299439860.post-42327220475244510172010-08-07T11:18:05.494+01:002010-08-07T11:18:05.494+01:00Hi Dragut

Do you know if it is the same record Claddagh Records released (recorded in 1973, aldo called 'Cooley')?<br /><br />And well, I must recommend this Carson's book for everyone who did not read it yet. A beutiful "set" of chronicles and poems about irish music and the many things that surrounds it. <br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Tiago.that's all folk!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04738507992647501637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968542165299439860.post-63184115265034271302010-08-03T11:47:10.762+01:002010-08-03T11:47:10.762+01:00You're welcome.You're welcome.Dragut Reishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256728779381297103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968542165299439860.post-7820310129735677602010-08-02T21:53:31.888+01:002010-08-02T21:53:31.888+01:00Brilliant album - thanks for sharing!Brilliant album - thanks for sharing!w_e_campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843298014889179523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968542165299439860.post-23500733441758518632010-07-14T11:28:18.374+01:002010-07-14T11:28:18.374+01:00Some comments from Facebook friends:
