USA Trip 1973

In 1973 Michael travelled to the USA with fiddle player Pee Fitzpatrick. The trip was for the purpose of visiting Pee’s brother Mick & family, and also to visit his own sister Josephine. Josephine has lived in Stanford, Connecticut since she emigrated from Aughavas.

During the trip Michael made a number of recordings, some of which can be heard in this playlist. They include Mike Flynn and Charlie Mulvihill.

Mike Flynn was one of the musicians recorded at a party in Margaret McSharry's house, New York, 8 August 1973
