Subject: Father Charlie Coen From: Owen Woodson Date: 15 May 12 - 05:30 AM I've just come a recording of of a song in Irish called Feach a Phádraig and been told that the singer is Father Charlie Coen of New York. This surprises me because I always thought his talents were confined to whistle, flute and concertina, and this is a very nice piece of singing indeed. In fact it is somewhat reminiscent of Éamonn Ó Bróithe. Can anyone confirm that is indeed Father Charlie singing? Also, I don't believe I've come across the song before. Does anyone have a translation? |

Subject: RE: Father Charlie Coen From: MartinRyan Date: 15 May 12 - 05:59 AM Interesting one, alright. Is this the recording you were listening to? Bottom of this page - a double-tracking? Seems to be a hymn - perhaps not surprisingly. Don't think I've ever heard it before. Can't say I hear much resemblance to Eamonn O Broithe... Regards |
