11th July (afternoon) 2018 at St Andrew's Cathedral, Aberdeen.
North Atlantic Fiddle Convention (NAFCo) (free event), www.northatlanticfiddle.com/.
Country: Ireland. Style: Traditional Irish Folk (Sliabh Luachra).
Lineup: Matt Cranitch (fiddle), Caoimhe Flannery (fiddle).
Matt Cranitch and Caoimhe Flannery played the music of the Sliabh Luachra area. Cranitch was born in Cork and raised in Rathduff, Co. Cork. He was a member of Na Fili in the 1970s. I have seen him before solo (2005), with Sliabh Notes (2005 and 2008), in a duo with Johnny McCarthy (2005) and in a duo with Seamus Creagh which was joined by Jerry Holland (2006). The last at a previous NAFCo (and most of the others at a Cork Folk Festival). 17 year old Flannery from Rockchapel in North Cork is a student of Cranitch. She was All-Ireland U15 fiddle champion and in 2017 won the Fiddler of Dooney junior (U18) competition. I saw this duo twice during the festival - at St Andrew's Cathedral and the Lemon Tree.
