ComhaltasLive #250-1: From North America, fiddle player Eugene Bender
The Hilton Hotel Parsippany was the venue for the Comhaltas North American Convention from 26th to 30th March 2008. There was a huge turnout of musicians, singers and dancers from all over North America as well as from Ireland, England and several other countries.
Eugene Bender from New York was one of the hundreds of very talented young musicians who attended the 2008 Convention. Eugene played the reels: “Paddy Ryan’s dream” and an Ed Reavy composition: “Never Was Piping So Gay” which is this week’s tutorial. Eugene learned much of his music from Brian Conway.
