I missed meeting you!! ... with the red coat at the table in front of Johnny) Susan & Johnny Cunningham and Aiden Brennan played a great show at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago this past Friday night. (the fairly new "upscale folk venue" in the city). I enjoyed it immensely - a combined opportunity to hear both Susan do Susan and a stripped down interpretation of "Peter & Wendy" sans mime troupe. The program was similar to the IMT show that Jeffrey posted about the other week - the first set a combination of originals (both songs and fiddle tunes) and traditional, the second set an excerpted Peter & Wendy. I know that much of the audience was familiar with Johnny from his visits with the Celtic Fiddle Festival, and was quite happy to hear the chuckles, roars and applause that the P&W set drew. (well, show up to hear traditional Celtic music and hear a warped Peter Pan instead -- *could* be disconcerting!). It was also great to hear the intro by DJ Rich Warren (host of the long-running "Midnight Special" folk program and the "Folk Stage" on WFMT radio in Chicago) - he specifically commented about Susan's voice & how she uses it to interpret/complement the traditional & the contemporary. Yes, I'll stop teasing those of you who haven't yet had an opportunity to hear Susan or the Susan/Johnny combination. And - I do have some new tour dates that I'll be putting up on the website soon, by the way! Regards, Carolyn Andre - ------------------------- candre@house-of-music.com Support Independent Music!
