Last Night's Fun: A Book About Irish Traditional Music
Reading these essays by an Irish folk musician, you are drawn in and transported, and it begins to seem that you can hear the fiddles andbodhrans, and you can almost smell the Guinness. Ciaran Carson, who has published several books of poetry, spent many years playing traditional Irish music in pubs with sawdust on the floor, and he evokes both scene and sound brilliantly in prose. We're lucky that the talented Mr. Carson takes time to put down his flute and pick up the pen. Anyone who appreciates folk music, or anyone who just likes fine writing, will enjoy this wondrously quirky little book.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
