Hello everyone and thank you for your continued interest and support in my music and my website.
This past year 07 was one hectic time for me.
In December, I presented my first ever TV music programme in Irish for TG4 here in Ireland called Geantrai which was filmed in Newtown Co Tipperary.
Some of my guests included Tim O Brien from Nashville USA, Arty McGlynn, Eileen O Brien and local musicians. Watch out for an exciting series on TG4 autumn 08 which features famous people learning trad music. I'm privileged to be working with Andy Reid, Irish international football star. He has a keen interest in music, plays the guitar and sings really well, but I teach him how to play the banjo. We finish filming in January. In April, I'm off to Bangladesh to do some concerts with Kevin Doherty and Gino Lupari from 4 Men & a Dog. Looking forward to playing with local musicians also as I love eastern music.
The Transatlantic Sessions with Aly Bain and Jerry Douglas is released now and really worth a look. In February I start a new album, so wish me luck.
Best Wishes to all of you for 08,
Gerry
