New videos from Cheap Aldi Camera Productions

Thanks to Jan Michielsen (second from left in above photo) of 4 Wheel Drive, who reports on his trip to Ireland on the first weekend in August:

Had a lot of fun in Derry AND in Omagh, maybe even more in Omagh where I had a continuous jam that lasted two hours and a half, if not longer, with Geordie McAdam (what a great fiddler he is!) and Wilson Davies (great solid guitar and bass man - real solid guy, like his approach a lot), and an 'unknown' guitar and bass player - good musicians, lots o' fun. Geordie was exhibiting some of his home-made fiddles at the museum.

Jan has put a video from his Cheap Aldi Camera Productions series on YouTube: 'Good Old Boys in Northern Ireland', showing some of the musicians performing at Bluegrass on the Walls in Derry city (in which Jan played mandolin with Woodbine), and at the Ulster American Folk Park at Omagh. Some of the footage is shot by Luc Eyckmans. Luc's splendid residential bus, Honeysuckle Rose, features prominently.

Jan has also posted on YouTube his second video instalment from this year's Athy festival: 'Good Old Boys in Athy, part two'.
