Feathered Gale /Jackie Coleman's - John Sheahan – 80th Birthday Concert Celebration

John Sheahan of The Dubliners celebrates his life and music with a gathering of Ireland’s finest musicians. On the morning of the funeral of a family friend, John woke up from a dream with this complete tune in his head. A few minutes later, while playing it for the first time, his wife’s brother was reading out a list of runners for a horse race, and when he mentioned Feathered Gale, John said, “That’s the name of the tune.” He placed a bet with the bookies. The horse came in third and after the funeral he related the whole story to the bereaved husband, and handed him the winnings.
Jackie Coleman’s is a well known reel often played in traditional sessions. John learned it years ago from his good friend, Barney McKenna.The performers on this track are (from left to right).
