DJ Schedule

I'm on every other Sunday morning during the "Celtic Muse" shift at the Blarney Stone Pub, alternating with Raven Skall. His show's brilliant too -- don't miss it! Other occasional shifts turn up, and those dates will be posted below, along with my regular gigs.

Email me with music questions at SeanClancySL (at) gmail (dot) com.

All shows are at the Blarney Stone Pub in Dublin, Second Life, unless indicated. Time listed is SL Time (Pacific Time, West Coast of North America).

You may also listen remotely, using iTunes or any streaming MP3 playback software, usually at Dublin Event Radio 2 or, if that doesn't work, try Dublin Event Radio 1. The show's theme music is a one-minute solo tin whistle tune by Séamus Ennis -- if you hear that straight up at 10am PST/1800 GMT, you're in the right place!

What the feck does your blog title mean, Seán?

"Ceol agus Craic" means, roughly, "music and good times."

"Ceol" (pronounced "kyohl," all one syllable) simply means "music" in the Irish language. "Craic" (pronounced "crack") means fun, fellowship, lightly mischievous enjoyment and minor (mostly) harmless debauchery in that inimitable and peculiarly Irish way, set to music and fueled by gallons of alcohol.

It's also the title of my Internet radio show / DJ shift in Dublin, Second Life, every other Sunday at 10am SLT, during which I play Irish rock, folk and traditional music, both old and new. It is, I believe, the only DJ shift in Dublin which features, with rare exceptions, exclusively Irish music.

So, who this Seán, anyways?

Seán is a genuinely nice guy -- friendly, witty and deliriously happy (although he can be somewhat of a devil too). His goal in SL is to have fun, be creative and to spread the happiness as best as he can. He'll talk your ear off about food, cocktails and music if you're not careful, though. This can be either good or bad.

Seán is not to be trusted around your potato chips or especially your French fries. He generally won't go for your liquor without asking, though ... most of the time.

He works as a DJ in Dublin, and lives in a Craftsman-style home on a small bay in Otherland with his partner Ryan Darragh, whom he loves very much.

He thinks it is silly to refer to himself in the third person, and even sillier to employ the first person plural. (We are not amused by this!)

The way to his heart is via bacon.

He is (mostly) harmless.
