Ladies and gentlemen,

0:00:100:00:11

please welcome one of Ireland's greatest ever pipers,

0:00:110:00:13

originally from Ballygowan in County Down,

0:00:130:00:16

now living in Pittsburgh, USA. Put your hands together for

0:00:160:00:19

Mr Andrew Carlisle!

Welcome to Lurgan Castle in County Armagh

0:01:250:01:28

where, for two days, a group of local musicians

0:01:280:01:30

have been playing host to performers who have travelled from Scotland,

0:01:300:01:33

Canada and the USA.

0:01:330:01:35

Their purpose? To rehearse and present

0:01:350:01:37

a feast of Ulster Scots music.

0:01:370:01:39

The result? A show I know you are thoroughly going to enjoy.

0:01:410:01:44

Welcome to The Castle Session.

Lisa and Brenley, you are from Nova Scotia.

0:04:060:04:09

It's great to have you here in Northern Ireland, especially at

0:04:090:04:11

Lurgan Castle in the town in which I was born, so welcome to my

0:04:110:04:14

part of the world.

0:04:140:04:16

And we're playing in a castle, so it's kind of cool.

0:04:160:04:18

So, a real castle and you're excited about playing with a

0:04:180:04:20

lot of the musicians that have been around. How have you found that?

0:04:200:04:23

-Well, they're all monster players, I'll tell you that.

-HE LAUGHS

0:04:230:04:26

-It's nice to walk in...

-Is that a good or bad thing, Lisa?

0:04:260:04:28

-A good thing.

-That's a good thing.

-Yeah,

0:04:280:04:30

that's a very good thing. When you're a monster player,

0:04:300:04:33

it's like... You just go like this, you bow down.

0:04:330:04:35

Being from Canada, you're from Nova Scotia...

0:04:350:04:38

What type of music is your music, what's your roots?

0:04:380:04:41

We've got Scottish roots. I mean, Lisa being from Cape Breton

0:04:410:04:44

and my father from Cape Breton, we both grew up listening to

0:04:440:04:47

tons of, of Scottish Irish tunes. And I think

0:04:470:04:51

it just kind of made its way into our melodies

0:04:510:04:54

and what we write today.

0:04:540:04:56

It's like it's coming right through us. It's just there,

0:04:560:04:59

you can't ignore it. You wouldn't want to ignore it.

0:04:590:05:01

Why would you want to?

So, Diane and Emma, it's great to have international musicians here

0:09:090:09:13

from both sides of the Atlantic,

0:09:130:09:15

but for me, it's fantastic to have two local girls,

0:09:150:09:18

so, where are you from, what is local?

0:09:180:09:20

Ballymena, both from Ballymena - born and bred.

0:09:200:09:23

We've been playing together since we were in primary school

0:09:230:09:26

and all through secondary school and university.

0:09:260:09:28

And then I moved away, I was in Liverpool for three years,

0:09:280:09:31

so I did my teaching degree. I'm just home there in July,

0:09:310:09:34

so we are basically just reunited.

0:09:340:09:35

SHE CHUCKLES

0:09:350:09:37

Reunited... A bit of a reunion, coming back together

0:09:370:09:39

-just for us here on The Castle Sessions.

-Yep.

0:09:390:09:42

Auch, you're so good, so good! LAUGHTER

0:09:420:09:44

I, personally, know that there was a lot of good fiddle players

0:09:440:09:47

in County Antrim, but not so much of the young generation

0:09:470:09:50

seem to be coming through playing fiddle, how did you get

0:09:500:09:52

into playing traditional fiddle?

0:09:520:09:54

I think it kind of came from... When we learnt the fiddle,

0:09:540:09:57

my dad would be an accordion player. So, he would have played...

0:09:570:10:00

You know, in low-key things like Arthur Cottage

0:10:000:10:02

-in Cullybackey, things like that there would...

-Church halls.

-Church halls and...

0:10:020:10:05

We would have went up with him and played...

0:10:050:10:08

More so old-time music like Grandfather's Clock

0:10:080:10:10

and all those kind of...

0:10:100:10:11

-Maggie and all those...

-Old favourites.

0:10:110:10:13

And then from that, we just kind of developed a love of folk music

0:10:130:10:15

and traditional music...

0:10:150:10:17

We play loads of Scottish tunes. We love Scottish tunes.

0:10:170:10:20

The set that you're playing - it actually starts with

0:10:200:10:22

the 2/4 march Stella's Trip To Kamloops.

0:10:220:10:25

It's a little bit different, how did you come across that tune?

0:10:250:10:27

Well, we actually picked that one up when we were looking,

0:10:270:10:30

researching for music for uni, when we were doing performance.

0:10:300:10:33

We heard that one on a John McCusker CD.

0:10:330:10:35

And we picked it and started to arrange...

0:10:350:10:38

With a couple of different sets and...

0:10:380:10:40

-Put your own stamp on it?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

We Banjo 3 - you're four lads from Galway.

0:14:210:14:23

I suppose, with banjo...the clue is maybe in the title,

0:14:230:14:26

but what else are you using?

0:14:260:14:28

We Banjo 3 is a four-piece band with two banjo players,

0:14:280:14:31

Fergal plays the fiddle and I play guitar as well.

0:14:310:14:33

-So, it makes perfect sense.

-We focus a lot on having fun with the music

0:14:330:14:36

and I suppose we pick tunes that are fun and we...

0:14:360:14:40

We just enjoy it. The banjo is kind of a fun instrument.

0:14:400:14:43

And the fiddle is there to make the banjo sound nice, I suppose.

0:14:430:14:46

LAUGHTER

0:14:460:14:48

So, you make these guys sound good, is that what you're saying, then?

0:14:480:14:51

No, not sound good. They're good. I just make them sound nice.

0:14:510:14:53

LAUGHTER

0:14:530:14:55

We like to have fun with it and we really enjoy ourselves on stage.

0:14:550:14:58

And when we're having fun on stage, then the audience has no choice but

0:14:580:15:01

to come with us and have fun too.

0:15:010:15:03

You know, we love the tones and the atmosphere of, you know,

0:15:030:15:07

old-time music and bluegrass music.

0:15:070:15:10

And obviously there's, you know, those long connections between

0:15:100:15:12

Irish musicians and American musicians and the travelling Irish,

0:15:120:15:15

the travelling Scots. And you know, each one influencing the

0:15:150:15:19

other musical traditions.

# Oh, the fox went out on a chilly night

0:16:200:16:22

# And he prayed that the moon would give him light

0:16:220:16:25

# For he had many miles to go that night

0:16:250:16:27

# Before he reached the town-o

0:17:040:17:06

0:17:060:17:09

# And he didn't mind the quack, quack, quack

# 8, 9, 10 saying, "Daddy, Daddy better go back again

0:17:520:17:55

# "It must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o"

0:17:550:17:59

# Daddy, Daddy better go back again, it must be a mighty fine town-o

0:17:590:18:03

# Oh, the fox and his wife without any strife

0:18:030:18:05

# They cut up the goose with a fork and knife and they never had

0:18:050:18:08

# Such a supper in their life

0:18:080:18:10

# And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:19:360:19:37

Andrew Carlisle, you've won all sorts of championships and solos

0:19:420:19:45

all over the world. Played with the ten-times world champions

0:19:450:19:48

Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band -

0:19:480:19:50

but what you're doing here is very different to that.

0:19:500:19:52

Yeah, it's great.

0:19:520:19:54

And I really enjoy getting to play with other musicians

0:19:540:19:57

that you wouldn't get the opportunity to do Highland pipes,

0:19:570:20:00

but I'm glad, as well, that we're able to show what the

0:20:000:20:02

Highland Pipes can do, you know.

0:20:020:20:04

The Field Marshal Montgomery band under the control

0:20:040:20:06

-of Pipe Major Richard Parkes.

-Yeah, it's great having him in the show,

0:20:060:20:09

you know, he's been a huge influence in my career, you know,

0:20:090:20:12

and he used to teach me, actually, at the

0:20:120:20:15

Northern Ireland Piping and Drumming School and...

0:20:150:20:18

Yeah, he's actually related to me as well...

0:20:180:20:20

HE CHUCKLES

0:20:200:20:21

-So, it's in the genes already, is that what you're saying?

-Well...

-APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:040:23:06

Rachel McLeister, you're a girl I know from the pipe band world,

0:23:110:23:15

-that's how I know you.

-Uh-hm.

0:23:150:23:17

Erm, yeah, well, I'm from Cullybackey, that's where I've

0:23:170:23:20

lived all my life. And erm, a few years back...

0:23:200:23:23

It would be five years now... I joined the pipe band

0:23:230:23:26

because my brother was in it and he loved it.

0:23:260:23:28

I play as a tenor drummer, my brother he's a snare drummer.

0:23:280:23:31

I perform with the pipe band at competitions and other things.

0:23:310:23:34

I was in Switzerland playing at a tattoo - a military tattoo

0:23:340:23:38

alongside other musicians from across the world,

0:23:380:23:41

other pipe bands with me. Whenever I was asked to sing, you know,

0:23:410:23:45

a folk song in a castle it was different for me.

0:23:450:23:48

# When midnight comes and people homeward tread

0:23:550:24:04

# Seek now your blanket and your feather bed

0:24:040:24:12

# Home is a rover

0:24:120:24:16

# His journey's over

0:24:160:24:22

# And yield up the night-time to old John O'Dreams

0:24:220:24:30

# Yield up the night-time to old John O'Dreams

0:24:300:24:38

# Across the hill the sun has gone astray

0:24:410:24:49

# Tomorrow's cares are many dreams away

0:24:490:24:58

# The stars are flying your candle is dying

0:24:580:25:06

# And yield up the darkness to old John O'Dreams

0:25:080:25:16

# Yield up the darkness to old John O'Dreams

0:25:170:25:25

# Both man and master in the night are one

0:25:340:25:41

# All things are equal when the day is done

0:25:420:25:51

# The prince and the ploughman the slave and the free man

0:25:510:25:59

# All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams

0:26:000:26:09

# All find their comfort in old John O'Dreams

0:26:090:26:17

# When sleep it comes the dreams come running clear

0:26:440:26:52

# The hawks of morning cannot reach you here

0:26:520:27:00

# Sleep is a river, flow on forever

0:27:000:27:08

# And for your boatman choose old John O'Dreams

0:27:080:27:16

0:27:280:27:32

Ailie Robertson, you've come over from Scotland, you're

0:27:350:27:38

one of our guests from across the seas, but just a little bit

0:27:380:27:40

of sea between here and Scotland, where are you from?

0:27:400:27:43

-I'm from Edinburgh, originally.

-From Edinburgh and now living in London,

0:27:430:27:46

but touring all round the world playing...your harp.

0:27:460:27:49

Yeah, half the year I'm on tour with a band called The Outside Track,

0:27:490:27:52

and then the rest of the time I'm between London and Scotland.

0:27:520:27:54

Ailie, people would associate the harp with Irish music, as a symbol of Irish music,

0:27:540:27:58

but it's important in Scottish musical history, too.

0:27:580:28:00

That's right, the harp is Scotland's oldest traditional instrument,

0:28:000:28:03

it predates the bagpipes or any of the other instruments,

0:28:030:28:06

and so it's been a huge part of our musical heritage

0:28:060:28:08

and our musical history.

0:28:080:28:09

And the music of Scotland and Ireland has gone back

0:28:090:28:12

and forth many times, and the harp tradition is a big part of that.

0:28:120:28:14

And, Ailie, you're going to play for us a set of dance tunes. Tell us a little bit about that set.

0:28:140:28:18

That's right, I'm going to play a set that's two jigs and then a slip jig.

0:28:180:28:22

So the first tune is called The Exploding Bow.

0:28:220:28:24

The second is Lisnagun and then the third tune is a tune

0:28:240:28:27

that I wrote - called Swerving For Bunnies,

0:28:270:28:29

which I wrote for my band after I totalled our car trying to

0:28:290:28:32

avoid some rabbits on the road!

0:31:210:31:22

Andy, you're now Professor of Music at Carnegie Mellon University

0:31:250:31:29

in America. The university itself has Ulster Scots' connections.

0:31:290:31:33

It does indeed, yeah.

0:31:330:31:34

Well, Andrew Carnegie was from Dunfermline in Scotland,

0:31:340:31:38

but the Mellon family - Thomas Mellon, they were from

0:31:380:31:42

the Omagh area. So, yeah, we've got a lot of traditional ties with,

0:31:420:31:45

with Northern Ireland and with Scotland, of course, you know,

0:31:450:31:48

with Andrew Carnegie and, you know, I guess that's one of the reasons

0:31:480:31:52

why the university has a pipe band and I get to teach

0:31:520:31:56

a lot of these American students a little bit about the,

0:31:560:31:59

the traditions that we have here in the province of Ulster.

0:31:590:32:02

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:070:35:09

It's great to play music with Andy, great piper and...

It's just a lot of energy and a lot of craic and it's good fun.

0:35:180:35:21

It's always good to play music, all sorts of music.

0:35:210:35:24

And as well as playing, you're singing a song for us.

0:35:240:35:27

I didn't really know you were a singer, Gino,

0:35:270:35:29

but a man of many, many hidden talents.

0:35:290:35:31

HE CHUCKLES

0:35:310:35:32

The song I'm singing has a lot of influences from the Ulster Scots

0:35:320:35:35

in America - Turn Me Loose, Doc Pomus song.

0:35:350:35:38

Bluegrass, sort of country swing to it.

0:35:380:35:40

So it will be fun.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:39:310:39:33

Andy, you play a lot more than the Highland pipes,

0:39:360:39:39

especially in a scenario like this,

0:39:390:39:42

where you've to accompany so many other musicians and...

0:39:420:39:44

I mean, you've whistles and you've Lowland pipes,

0:39:440:39:47

-you've all sorts of stuff going on.

-Yeah, well, I mean...

0:39:470:39:50

The Highland pipes have some disadvantages in that, one,

0:39:500:39:54

they are very loud and two, they're in kind of awkward keys for a lot

0:39:540:39:58

of other instruments, you know, B-flat, E-flat, C-minor, F-minor.

0:39:580:40:03

Um...and the Lowland pipes lend themselves a lot easier to be

0:40:030:40:06

accompanied, because they're quieter.

0:40:060:40:09

CHEERING

0:43:040:43:05

You said about roots music and a lot of that kind of bluegrass

0:43:070:43:10

and roots music is very prevalent down through

0:43:100:43:13

the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.

0:43:130:43:15

Their music is so deeply intertwined with ours,

0:43:150:43:17

in that, you know, it was the Irish immigrants when they met,

0:43:170:43:20

and the Scottish immigrants when they met and all these people,

0:43:200:43:23

and they fused that beautiful music up in the mountains

0:43:230:43:25

and then out of that came bluegrass and the modern American music.

0:43:250:43:29

So, with that in mind, I think everyone kind of gets a...

0:43:290:43:32

feeling of connectivity from the music that we play.

The way trad players accompany fiddle tunes over here

0:47:360:47:38

-is different than they do at home, back in Cape Breton.

-What's that difference, Brenley?

0:47:380:47:42

The push is somewhere else, it's not like...

0:47:420:47:45

It's like a different kind of a... It almost comes earlier.

0:47:450:47:48

I'm not sure what it is, but I love it!

0:47:480:47:50

Is it a little more driven, in style?

0:47:500:47:52

-It is, it's so...

-Yeah.

-And it moves and it really makes it...

0:47:520:47:55

Rather than going like... Ta-con-tika-du...

0:47:550:47:57

It's like do-tika-tika-pa, du-du-du!

0:47:570:48:00

-Yeah!

-And it's really... It really...

0:48:000:48:02

It's exciting.

0:48:020:48:03

One of the songs you're doing is Small Of My Heart,

0:48:030:48:06

tell us a little bit about that song.

0:48:060:48:08

Well, my... The town that I grew up in is called Kincardine,

0:48:080:48:11

which is a little Scottish town on the shores of Lake Huron.

0:48:110:48:14

And we were in Australia on tour, and there were...

0:48:140:48:19

They had got a call, basically, to say that...

0:48:190:48:21

asking us to write a song about...

0:48:210:48:23

about Kincardine, because we were celebrating our bicentennial.

0:48:230:48:27

So, we wrote this tune and it really kind of comes from

0:48:270:48:31

the little changes that have happened on the town.

0:48:310:48:33

The bus station has moved from one street to the other.

0:48:330:48:36

There's a Saturday parade that comes through town, a...

0:48:360:48:39

-Like a band.

-It's a parade of pipers...

-Yeah.

0:48:390:48:42

So, basically, the whole community gets together downtown.

0:48:420:48:46

And... And it's about two-blocks long, the whole downtown.

0:48:460:48:49

And everybody gets behind, lines up the street

0:48:490:48:52

and gets behind the pipers and they pipe down and everybody walks.

0:48:520:48:55

And then they sort of get munched up a little bit

0:48:550:48:57

and then they turn around and everybody follows them back to the other end of town.

0:48:570:49:01

There's a place in Fife in Scotland called Kincardine, as well.

0:49:010:49:04

There is, I believe it's named after...

0:49:040:49:05

I remember seeing Kincardine Bridge the first time we were in Scotland. And then I saw...

0:49:050:49:10

I was, like, "Well, there comes the name - Kincardine!"

That is usually a little bit different from most trad players.
