Incidentally, James was in the news today for some strong opinions on being brainwashed by Belfast presbyterianism growing up.
“Wouldn’t you say it is immoral for one country to take over another country just because the other country is not so well armed? Wouldn’t you think that was immoral?
“Well, let me put this to you – would you not think that 800 years ago what the British did was immoral and kept doing it and it is still immoral?”
Expect some dim-witted roaster to make flute jokes before long.

If it’s immoral, then why did you take a knighthood, sir James.

Is James Galway the fella that is allegedly related to the great Kevin Kilbane, who appeared in a You’re a Star type show about 10 years ago?

“They say, ‘well how do you become a Sir?’ I say, ‘because I come from the British occupied part of Ireland’.
“Then when I grew up we grew up as Protestants and we were brainwashed to the Protestant ethic, and to their way of thinking. For example, we knew all the sights of London, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace and all that but we didn’t know Stormont.”

Come back to me when you’ve heard better, or more traditional (in keeping with the spirit of traditional music) than Matt Molloy. This bullshit about Galway is over-hyped, he’s a flautists’ version of that prick Nigel Kennedy who masquerades as a “great violinist”. Because of his imagined profile, he’s perceived as a legend, he has no more feel for the grá of the art, or the tradition of it than any other journeyman.
Molloy, on the other hand, is a true flautist, immersed in the love of the music, it’s vivacy and connotations. Galway believes his own press, Molloy is the real deal.
