My new book, Festival Legends: Songs & Stories, is revewed by Nicky Rossitter in Irish Music Magazine this month (November 2006 Issue. Volume 13, No. 3). Out of Dublin, Ireland, Irish Music Magazine (IMM) is the bible of Irish music all around the world, giving histories, interviews and news mostly in Ireland, but also wherever the Irish gather. Cutting edge in its approach and content, it has grown to be “the” source for and about Irish music.

Here’s a quote:

“This is an excellent publication and an immediate and essential source book for anyone remotely interested in Irish folk music and by extentsion that means anyone interested in folk music per se.
John O’Brien Junior combines the requisite skills of a writer with the lifelong involvement with the men and women who are Irish Folk Music.
“The subtitle of the book tells it all, ‘the people who made the music that defined a people.’”

The full page review goes on, detailing who is in the book and some of their history. Life is good!
