About
Northwest Folklife Recordings
Northwest
Folklife Recordings
began initially to document special performances
at the annual Northwest Folklife Festival held
in Seattle, Washington. The 36 year-old festival
is a production of Northwest Folklife, a regional
folklife center that is involved in research,
documentation, cultural and educational programming
in the Pacific Northwest. As a result of some
of the organization's innovative research and
recording projects, Northwest Folklife Recordings
has since developed into a full-fledged record
label that has moved beyond the festival with
an emphasis on regional and world music traditions.

"Say
a Song"
Joe Heaney in the Pacific Northwest
|
Joe Heaney was fond of telling a
story about the time that the American
television host Merv Griffin visited Ireland.
At a local pub, Griffin was astonished
to see a particular photograph on the
wall. "That's my doorman!" he exclaimed.
"That," the bartender solemnly declared,
"is Ireland's greatest traditional musician."
Seosamh Ó hÉanaí,
known to the English-speaking world as
Joe Heaney, was both. |
