Paddy Glackin in Conversation with Nickie McAuliffe/ Our 1970s Listowel Fleadh Memories
As part of the World Fiddle Day Scartaglin Celebration we have a special Handed Down Presentation and Concert on Friday May 19 . We are delighted to welcome fiddle player Paddy Glackin back to Co Kerry where he will sit down with fiddle player Nickie McAuliffe to reminisce about his memories of the Listowel Fleadhs held in the early 1970s . Paddy as a young promising fiddle player met many of the Sliabh Luachra greats in Listowel like Julia Clifford, Denis Murphy and Paddy Cronin and also won an All Ireland title. Nickie McAuliffe was also in Listowel during those exciting times and along with his own stories of that time will chat with Paddy . We will have some great music before and after as we build up to our World Fiddle Day Cellebrations on the day after May 20 .
