Photo / Sheila Lennon Providence musician Phil Edmonds' mom died Monday. From Maura Edmonds obituary,
After Maura Edmonds' wake at Gallogly Funeral Home, an Irish wake followed at Patrick's Pub on Smith Street.
The Gnomes -- one of several bands Phil makes music with -- played, joined by other musicians. That's Peter Breen and Cathy Clasper-Torch under the Guinness sign at Patrick's. A bit about Phil, from bandmate Otis Read's site: PHIL EDMONDS As a native of Killaloe, Co. Clare, Ireland, Phil learned to play the tin whistle in a place where he says, "The backyard was the fields." When he was 14 years old, Phil, along with his family, emigrated to America and settled in South Providence, where he still lives. Phil presently plays whistles and button accordion in several Rhode Island ensembles including: The Lucky Band, The Katz' Meow, Killaloe, and The Providence Wholebellies. He also performs with Triple-Decker which is a narrative by Marc Levitt accompanied by musicians from six different countries. Phil is listed as a traditional folk artist with the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. To children he is known as "The Leprechaun". Phil Edmonds and Otis Read play at the Providence Athenaeum, on YouTube. Posted by Sheila Lennon |
