“The Floating Feather”, a collection of Irish Traditional Music from County Kilkenny. The author is, Charles O’ Neill, a retired primary school teacher from Kilkenny. He has had an abiding interest and love of Irish music all his life. The book is a collection of his own tunes, which spring from a deeply ingrained pride in his community and county, and are blended with well established music of Kilkenny that has been played for over a century.
In the foreward to the book, Colm O Caoimh, a noted guitarist and founder member of ‘Caladh Nua’ says:
“Importantly this book contains an assortment of traditional tunes associated with Kilkenny City and County, which serves as a valuable addendum to the publication. I am unaware of the prior existence of such a compilation. With this tune-book, Charlie is acknowledging and helping to perpetuate a rich tradition of folk music which is often overlooked in this region. I sincerly hope to hear them played in sessions up and down the country.”
