about

I learned this from Cyril Sampson who sings at the Old Triangle in Halifax, NS sometimes. At anyone of the session, or whenever Jimmy Sweeney and Kevin take the stage for the weekend run.

It is the great great great and on daddy song to the Streets of Laredo.

Possibly about Patrick Donnelly, a 17th century Bishop of Dromore. Sent underground when the English were trying to get the Irish off of Catholicism. He took to the hedge then took to the harp and got married.

about

Dusty Keleher Halifax, Nova Scotia

Dusty Keleher writes songs that tell a good story and searches out gems from the past that do the same.

Simply put, roots/traditional music that takes its cue from ancient Irish ballads and songs from the folk/rock canon. Original modern day tales on subjects far and near. From whatever genre and tradition he draws on, Dusty brings a heartfelt soul to all the songs he sings.
