CAMEO - Colcannon
'The Pooka and the Fiddler' is a story told in verse and incorporating traditional Irish music. It is directed more to adults than children, although kids may like it too. For some time the band had been mulling the thought of producing a story/orchestra/Colcannon piece. Mick Bolger had been toying with the idea of a story concerning a pooka, a type of supernatural Irish creature that is found in animal form usually goat; sometimes eagle, dog or other rarer forms. Traditionally, it's a rather forbidding, even violent creature and prone to being misleading rather like Trickster in Native American stories. (Not all pookas are that way, though. A well-known pooka in County Westmeath was a donkey that went into people's houses at night and did housework.) So, Mick thought why not write a pooka story and use music that Colcannon already played to fill in the story. He decided that the story should be in verse to make it 'special' and then he thought that if the story itself was about music and the different kinds of Irish music they'd have something to work with. And so, The Pooka and the Fiddler was born.
