Billed as “one of Ireland’s foremost tenor banjo players.” Um…there are others? Nice collection of guest stars help out with vocals and other instruments.

1. Three jigs for banjo, bouzouki, and guitar.
2. Three reels w/pipe/bouzouki/banjo. Nice.
3. Sweet set w/nice accordion/mandolin harmonies.
*4. Fun old fasioned “barndance” feel w/drum/piano.
*5. Lazy male vocals, guitar/banjo. Relaxed.
6. Set of 4 tunes. Slow, then faster. Nice fingerwork.
*7. Three reels, nice mix of fiddle/bass/banjo/bouzouki.
8. Oh Susannah (slow banjo duet), then a bluegrassy sound.
9. Two reels for banjo/pipe/bouzouki.
*10. Piano/guitar/banjo. A nice instrumental set, gets jazzy.
*11. Cool vocals on a Celtic/bluesy mix. Fun.
12. Three reels, mix of melodeon/bousouki/banjo.
13. Upbeat instrumental set w/nice use of dobo/drum/guitars.
14. Coyne goes solo w/a relaxed jig, then his granny joins in. (after long silence.)
