--- LETTER FROM ANNE O'CRAOBHACH.
Dear George,
Wished to thank you for your acknowledgement on Sean's passing I have received many emails as a result from people who loved Sean remembering different times with him over the years in Phoenix, and I am glad for those memories recalled. Myself and the children are missing him badly as it was all so very quick but he is resting in a beautiful spot in the Dublin mountains overlooking Dublin Bay and is at peace. Although he was not conscious before he died he almost had a grin on his face as he left!
Thank you and your readers for everything we miss Phoenix all the time!
much love
Anne Murray O'Craobhach.

5. LINDIANNE SARNO AND GARY KUITERT ON THE HISTORY AND MUSIC OF GREENSLEEVES AT ICC ON FRI, AUG 11
Irish Cultural Center, 1106 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004
FRI, AUGUST 11
7:00 PM - $5
Lindianne Sarno, author/musician, and her husband, musician/photographer Gary Kuitert, will speak on Lindianne's novel, Greensleeves, An Historical Novel of the First Irish Diaspora. Set in Tir Conaill (County Donegal) in the 1500's, in the court of Irish scholar-king Maghnus O Domhnaill, Greensleeves chronicles the work of a band of Irish scholars and musicians who dedicated their lives to saving Irish culture in the face of the English invasion. Greensleeves draws the reader into renaissance/reformation Europe through the eyes of singer Caitlin ni Conor--who becomes Lady Greensleeves. Refuting the rumor that King Henry VIII wrote the song, Greensleeves offers an account of the song's cultural and spiritual origins in Ireland and Scotland, and how the tune acquired English lyrics.
A rousing good tale of a gallant troupe of noble singers who double as spies and diplomats, Greensleeves features insightful portraits of historic characters diplomat Eoin O Gallagher (who represented the interests of Tir Conaill in the perilous court of Queen Elizabeth), King Maghnus O Domhnaill, and in the next generation, Hugh Dubh O Domhnaill and his Scots-born wife, the stately, deadly Ineen Dubh O Domhnaill.
The author reads selected passages from her book, and she and her husband speak, play illustrative music, and share photographs about their travels and research through Ireland, Scotland and Europe following the path of Lady Greensleeves.

Hi - Here is our news for this week's newsletters, "Hwyl", Mary Gilchrist
August Meeting
Irish Cultural Center
Welsh Trivia Fun
For the past two years we have tried to wake our melted brains out of their stupor by means of a "Pub Quiz" in August. Carwyn Edwards has once again come up with just enough questions to challenge us. Only a minimal knowledge of Wales and Welsh culture is needed to answer the questions. Come for the fun and some prizes. We don't take ourselves very seriously, so it will be fun no matter how much you know.
Tea and coffee will be provided, and we can bring other goodies to share.
News Of Our Members
Our President, John Good, has just returned from a week teaching Welsh at the Cwrs Cymraeg session in California - well-deserved recognition of his efforts and accomplishments in keeping the language alive!
Tammy Ryan, one of our skilled photographer members is having her pictures of Arizona featured at Inspirations Books and Gifts Shop at 5051 West Palmaire Ave. in Glendale through August. If you are on the west side take a minute to stop in and enjoy them. We look forward to her latest pictures from Wales.
Report From Flagstaff
Welsh League Of Arizona
Saturday, August 5th, 2006
12 - 2 P.M.
1106 North Central Ave, Phoenix
We had a good turnout of members to staff our tent at the Flagstaff Festival a couple of weeks ago. We reached a lot of people with information and brochures about Wales, applied a lot of Welsh Dragon tatoos to adults and children and enjoyed the music of "Oceans Apart" several times during the two-day event. Our tent was one of the ones that was knocked over after-hours in a microburst and did sustain some damage, but we are hoping to get it fixed promptly.
10. REVIEW OF BRAZEN HEADS
[Jb is a Longtime Phoenix resident and AZNightBuzz blogger JB can be found bellying up to the bar at his favorite haunts, introducing readers to the city's strangest characters, interviewing the best local bands, and finding stories where others fear to tread.]
The Brazen Heads bring the Irish at the Dubliner
2006-07-31
jb
Every once in a while I like to get my Irish on, but I've grown used to the nearby pubs like Seamus McCaffreys and Rosies, so I figured it was time to mix it up a little. I called my boys Kelly and Zack - 100% Grade A Irish - and we took a drive out to the Dubliner on the southwest corner of 38th Street and Thunderbird.
I'd been there a couple of times years ago and had a faint memory of the place. I remembered it as large and pretty empty, with a bunch of long narrow tables for group dining and some booths. I also remember that the music was acoustic and fairly traditional, and though the place was huge and the audience was small they were enthusiastic about the band.
The Dubliner is located in an area not usually associated with nightlife and entertainment, near Paradise Valley Mall in the Northeast Valley. I don't get out that way very often and it had been at least 10 years since I visited the Dubliner.
My how things change. I had an inkling the place might be busy due to the number of cars in the parking lot, but assumed there was another bar in the strip mall that would account for some of the vehicles. As soon as we walked in I realized not only was the place huge but it was also very busy.
The Dubliner is broken down into roughly three areas. The front room has a stage and the aforementioned long tables, a bunch of booths and tall round tables. There is a middle area where the large bar is centered which has plenty of bar space and many small tables. There is also a back room which is partially divided from the other areas, though the long bar runs on three side and into the back room. The back room has pool tables and other bar games, and provides another space if you aren't feeling the music.
But I was feeling the music in a big way, which was nice. It can be a dodgy proposition finding good Irish bands in Phoenix.
There are a lot of average bands in town that play the Irish pub circuit, playing the cliché musical equivalent of the lucky charms leprechaun. I sort of equate this with the blues community here, which is populated with lots of mediocre talent under the mistaken idea that the straightforward construction of the music should make playing the stuff automatic.
When seeking Irish music there seem to be a few standard modes. You've got old dudes with acoustic guitars and maybe a backing multi-instrumentalist playing weepy ballads with total sincerity that will bring a tear to your beer, which are nice when you are feeling sentimental but not when you want to jig. There are also thinly veiled hack cover bands who bring as much authenticity and feeling to the tunes as they would to 70s rock classics. And then you have the true believers, the real talents that are able to fuse the old traditional music with a fresh take and mix it up with more contemporary music to keep the audience on their toes. They often use electric instruments, pay homage to the standards in the genre but don't rely on the chestnut for their emotional power, and exhibit master of the form and their instruments.
Obviously for me the third kind is preferable and the band I saw there, the Brazen Heads, fits firmly in the true believer category. Seamlessly combining traditional elements with contemporary flair and having a good time while doing it, they were definitely the best band in this mode I've seen in some time.
They played a nice mixture of Irish rock and traditional tunes, many of which were not standard fare. They also had fun with many of the standards, presenting original and inspired versions of the songs. The players all knew their way around the music and their instruments, and lead singer Liam Mackey had a strong voice and stage presence. The band features the usual rock lineup or guitar, bass and drums with the requisite fiddle and a nice addition of keyboards.
The Brazen Heads appeal was broad. I was happy to see several groupings of people in their early 20s enjoy the music without irony. It was a nice time and the place had a busy, enjoyable energy, and while there were a lot of cute girls and plenty of dudes, it didn't have the attitude of a meat market or dance club.
I had a good time but one too many pints of Guinness. Luckily I had enough presence of mind to corner Liam Mackey and ask him a few questions before the damned hiccups kicked in.
AZNightBuzz: Tell us something about the band's history, who plays what and what the name the Brazen Heads is about.
Liam Mackey: I formed the band back in the late 80s when I was fresh off the boat. We played the pub and festival circuit up and down the East Coast and after several incarnations and at least one temporary name change, I took a much deserved break and moved out to Phoenix. More recently I decided to dust off the guitar and re-formed the band with a few new faces. We took our name after the very famous Brazen Head pub in Dublin, which claims to be the oldest pub in all of Ireland. Our current line up is five on stage and one off - Maya Lennon, keys; Bill Plisko, bass; Roy Plisko, drums; Jonathan Miller, fiddle; Liam Mackey, guitar and lead vocals; and LeeAnn Mackey, sound.
AZNB: About how often do you have gigs and what is a typical show for the band?
LM: We usually get out about three weekends a month and typically in the Irish pubs around town. We play the odd festival or special event and haven't really decided about touring this lineup as of yet, but we definitely have interest in doing it again at some point.
AZNB: How would you describe a set list at a Brazen Heads show? Is there a certain criterion for inclusion in the show?
LM: We always try to live up to our motto "Celtic Mayhem." Our sets run the spectrum from poignant to political to traditional to all our rockers and back. We tend to gravitate toward some of the lesser covered Celtic rock acts from Ireland like Thin Lizzy, Horslips, More Power to Your Elbow and Goats Don't Shave, for example. But we don't just choose them based on that criteria alone. We genuinely like them. The other obvious benefit to our covering music that isn't as mainstream on the pub circuit is our humble hope to foster a broader appreciation of Celtic music. It's not all stuff your granny would like.
AZNB: Are any of the members besides yourself from Ireland?
LM: Is this a question the INS will see? The official answer is I am the sole green card holder in the Brazen Heads.
AZNB: Is there an instrument that best represents Irish music?
LM: Arthur Guinness chose to put the Harp in his famous logo so it's the one most visually identifiable. But if you're talking live music I would have to say the fiddle since jigs and reels are most often associated with it.
AZNB: Is there a song that people at an Irish pub in America expect to hear in every set? Is it different in Ireland?
LM: Unfortunately, when people start making the universally known hand signals for the "Unicorn song," we know we're for a rough night. This and a few other widely overdone songs (many of which aren't even Irish) seem to pervade the average listeners experience with Irish music. In a word, is it different in Ireland? Yes. As an Irishman in America I do have to recognize the difference between the two and strive to strike the balance between educating and entertaining in a way that everyone goes away happy.
AZNB: With the exception of U2, what is your favorite band from Ireland?
LM: Luke Kelly of the Dubliners for out and out ballads. Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy for straight forward Irish rock, Horslips for being the most inventive with blending traditional with contemporary and, of course, Christy Moore for humor, poignancy and political commentary. We all owe Christy a big debt of gratitude. Oh, and let's not forget the first Saw Doctors album, a contemporary classic.
AZNB: Do you have a favorite place to play in Phoenix and if so, why?
LM: We love all the Irish venues for their unique differences but if you press me, I'm going to have to say the NorthStar Lounge. It's not at all connected to the Irish music scene but it's owned by a mate of mine who loaned us his massive stage to work out the kinks in our show before we started booking ourselves around town. We still use the pub as our live proving ground and have been known to put on an unannounced show or two in there for special occasions.
AZNB: What is a favorite show you've played with the Brazen Heads?
LM: The first one we played in Phoenix because we had no idea if our brand of Irish music would go down as well in the Southwest. It was also a benefit for the Irish Cultural Center which we wouldn't describe as our "typical" audience type so it was a double unknown. To our mutual relief, everyone had a great time and we had a lot of fun helping out their cause. I love those kinds of challenges. It makes gigging fun.
AZNB: Can you tell us a crazy show story - a wild or screwed up show or event?
LM: We have an agreement in this band that we're like Vegas; what goes on in the Brazen Heads, stays in the Brazen Heads. So I'm not at liberty to discuss.
AZNB: The Dubliner was packed with an interesting crowd - an odd mixture of 20-somethings, people in their 30s and then some older folks. First of all, is that place always that busy? What percentage of the people in the bar were there for you and what kind of a crowd do the Brazen Heads usually attract?
LM: The Dubliner has the unique standing of being one of only a couple of the original Irish music pubs in Phoenix and their popularity still benefits from that fact so they're often crowded. Our band is still pretty fresh faced on the local Irish music scene so I wouldn't want to suggest they were all there for us but a good few of them were. We usually attract a mixture of Paddys who know and love our choice of material and Americans who don't know why they like us yet but we have a ton of energy so they do.
AZNB: You play a mixture of Irish standards and more contemporary music. Do you get sick of playing any of the older songs and if so, which ones?
LM: If by contemporary you mean newer sounding, you're right. None of it is really new music though. We've taken a bunch of old songs and rearranged many of them to suit our taste of having a Celtic rock vibe. With the exception of a few American songs we tossed in because we liked them, all our material is Celtic Isles in origin and pretty old. I can't say we get sick of playing older songs since most of what we play is in fact old, but there are certain songs we just won't do like the unicorn song. You won't ever hear that song performed at a Brazen Heads show.
AZNB: Anything you'd like to add, anything at all. Or nothing is OK too.
LM: Interviews nearly always make you run the risk of coming off either pompous or sounding like a complete wanker. I consider myself neither. What I'd really like to encourage is for people to come out and catch a Brazen Heads show and form your own opinion. Have a pint or three. Better yet, buy us a pint or three.
