Johnny Cunningham…

I came across this CD in Singapore 8 years ago. It turned out that it was not legally available for sale in the UK because of licensing problems with the owners of the copyright of “Peter Pan” by J.M.Barrie. The CD consists of the music to accompany a puppet production of the “Peter Pan” story by the “Mabou Mines” puppet theatre group. Nearly all of the music was composed and arranged by the late Johnny Cunningham [RIP].
Musicians were :
Johnny Cunningham - fiddle, vocals
Seamus Egan - whistles, flute, bodhran
Susan McKeown - vocals
Jay Ansill - Celtic harp, mandolin
Larry Campbell - guitar
Jamshied Sharifi - keyboards, percussion
Mick McAuley - accordion
Ben Wittnam - percussion
Charlie Giordano - accordion

The full show was brought over to the Edinburgh Festival about 3 or 4 years ago, and I made a point of going to see it. An absolutely brilliant show. The musicians were brought over from Ireland, and included Alan Kelly, Steph Geremia, Tola Custy and Laoise Kelly.
The CD is superb, and features some of Johnny’s best work, in my opinion. The opening and closing track is the air “A Whistle On The Wind”, which was recorded by Joannie Madden, and must have been re-named for the show.
