A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

All-Ireland: Vincent Griffin and "The New Year's In/Youghal Quay"
Former all-Ireland fiddle champion Vincent Griffin brings us the random tune for today, a pair of reels called The New Year's In/Youghal Quay. Griffin, from County Clare, won his fiddle award in 1974, and played in the 1980s with Galway band Roudledum. Unfortunately, I can't find much more information on him. You can find The New Year's In/Youghal Quay on his 2013 album Traditional Fiddle Music from County Clare, though I found it on a 2008 various artists compilation called Harps, Pipes & Fiddles.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
