About
|
| Hi, I'm Frances O'Rourke and this is
my website covering Irish traditional music in the North West
of England. I play the piano accordion and more recently the
fiddle and I'm from Corby, Northamptonshire. I moved to Manchester
in 1997. |

Hazel Fairbairn, Frances O'Rourke and Rick Batey
at Northampton Irish Centre circa 1994.
We were based in Cambridge and called the Alien Ceilidh Company.
Rick now lives in London and works as a journalist on Guitar/Guitarist
magazine and Hazel still does ceilis in the Cambridge area
with the the latest evolution of Aliens
Hazel also plays with the band Horace
X of which I was a founder member until they went weird. |

At grandparents' house in Lisnaskea, Fermanagh in the 1970s.
I can't remember how to play the whistle any more, even though
I spent a lot of my childhood doing so. Click to enlarge.
