Rowing Up the Corrib/ Menlo Castle/ So Near and Yet so Far
These are very recent compositions and like many of my tunes the titles are related to Galway and the Corrib. After Carl’s teaching job in Carlow he moved back to Galway to teach at The Jes which was a great school for music and sport. Rowing was such an important part of the school and the crews won many international awards. One of his pupils, Aifric Keogh, has already won an Olympic Bronze medal and has qualified for Paris. Of course as you begin your journey up the Corrib your first and most famous landmark is Menlo Castle.
