Wicked-good Celtic music for pipes, chanters, whistles, guitar, fiddle, bodhran, bousouki. Full of virtuoso playing, crisp arrangements, tight harmonies between instruments, and great energy. Mostly Irish folk dances (reels, jigs, etc.) but with fresh energy. All instrumentals.

*1. Medley of 3 dances. One midtempo march, 2 fast reels. 4:35
*2. A relaxed reel w/a sweet melody & cool, rainy night feel. 4:31
3. Lively set of 4 reels with typically good playing throughout. 3:47
*4. Slow, sad air with a beautiful, heartbreaking quality. 2:42
5. Two Castilian dances. Mid/uptempo, toe-tapping, catchy. 5:02
*6. Lovely jig w/an almost medieval feel. Starts slow, gets mid. 5:01
7. A slow reel & 2 fast reels with style & good energy. 6:27
8. Sweet set of 2 reels, mostly mid. Watch for silence at 4:14 then hidden track at 4:49 – 8:52
