The Choir Master

“I had the pleasure to be in Cúil Aodha Church at the launch of a C.D. by Cór Chúil Aodha and Peadar Ó Riada at the end of 2012.  I was so impressed with the concert on the night and with the C.D. later that it left no doubt in my mind, but that Peadar is a great composer and choir master. So in my own small way I pinned this tune to honour him.”
