MICHAEL COLEMAN
PATHÉ ACTUELLE NEEDLE CUT 021098 In 1920 Pathé introduced a line of what were called "needle-cut" records (i.e., compatible with other standard brands of 78 discs), at first mostly for the USA market. The "needle-cut" records were labelled Pathé Actuelle. They were introduced in the UK the following year. This venture was successful, and within a few years these "needle-cut" discs were selling more than the vertical Pathés even on the continent.
Highly influential traditional Irish Fiddler - January 31, 1891 – January 4, 1945.
Michael Coleman was born in Knockgrania, in the rural Killavil district, near Ballymote, County Sligo, Ireland, and died in New York City.
He is one of the seminal figures in Irish and Irish-American traditional music. He came to the United States in 1914 and became a successful performer of Irish music in vaudeville and variety theatres across America. He settled in New York City, where Irish music was in great demand by the large Irish population. Between 1921 and 1944 he recorded many 78 rpm recordings of fiddle music that even today exert a great influence on players both in America and Ireland. Coleman's recorded material is one of the reasons why the Sligo fiddle style and tune repertoire predominates in much Irish and Irish-American fiddling
