\"Joe<\/a><\/p>\n

We were deeply saddened to learn of Joe Derrane<\/a>‘s death this past weekend. A brilliant musician who was highly regarded in the world of traditional Irish music, Joe Derrane had a heart of gold.<\/p>\n

In 2003, I had the good fortune to sit down at Joe’s kitchen table in Randolph, MA to interview him for our archive. The interview became source material for a radio feature that aired on WUMB in 2003. For those who knew Joe, it may bring some small comfort to hear his voice. For those who never met him or heard him play, you missed a gem.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/massfolkarts.org\/audio\/Greatest_Comeback_Irish_Music.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
