14th December 2012 at King and Queen, London W1 (floorspot at Will Duke & Dan Quinn gig).
Musical Traditions Folk Club, www.englishfolkinfo.org.uk/mustrad/mtc.html.
Country: Britain (Irish descent). Style: Performance Poetry.
Lineup: Peter “Racker” Donnelly (recitations).
A Reacaire (anglicised as Racker) was a reciter of topical poems. “Racker” Donnelly was born in Sheffield and brought up in Bray. He lived in Surrey for many years (including a spell as a councillor in Woking). In the last decade he has been reciting his humorous poems in a variety of contexts, including London Folk Clubs.

3rd June 2016 at King and Queen, London W1.
“Dublin Night”, Musical Traditions Folk Club, www.englishfolkinfo.org.uk/mustrad/mtc.html.
This evening consisted mostly of songs about or associated with Dublin (e.g. "Biddy Mulligan, "The Forgetful Sailor", "The Maid of Cabra West", "The Ragman's Ball", "The Charlady's Ball"). More specifically of songs relating to James Joyce (given the proximity to the 16th June the annual Bloomsday celebration derived from the day in 1904 on which the action of Ulysses takes place), and concerning the Easter Rising (with the 100th anniversary happening during the preceeding month).
Country: Britain (Irish descent). Style: Performance Poetry
Lineup: Peter “Racker” Donnelly (recitations).
Racker Donnelly was born in Sheffield to Irish parents. He described Bray as his "spiritual home". He spent time there with his uncle and aunt during the war as an evacuee and in school holidays (and later attended Blackrock College as a border and then UCD). He also returned to Ireland living in Bray (and Sandycove) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Retired from a career in journalism he was now dedicated himself to his poetry. I took photos of him doing a floorspot when Will Duke & Dan Quinn performed at this club in 2012, see: www.flickr.com/photos/kmlivemusic/sets/72157632379498657/.
