“This photo was taken in Kinvara, Co. Galway at the Fleadh na gCuach or The Cuckoo Festival which takes place every year on the May bank holiday. I was filming some musicians in Tully’s bar on the Main Street and somebody pointed out that the man playing the whistle was called Paddy Costello, a well known musician from Caherlistrane and that he was the uncle of the singer Dolores Keane. I asked him to come outside into the sunshine for a portrait….and then out of nowhere….in all his finery….the cuckoo appeared!” Paddy Jordan
