Great Irish fiddle music on a debut solo recording (previously he’s recorded with the band “Danu”). Celtic music from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Canada. Joined by guitar, cello, flute, accordion. All instrumentals. *1. Bright & fiery set of reels. Expertly played, toe-tapping. 2. Two midtempo jigs w/snarling uillean pipe. 3. Set of dances w/varying tempos. Duet for guitar/fiddle. Sweet. 4. Slow & romantic w/programming in the background. *5. Toe-tapping set of jigs for fiddle/guitar/accordion. 6. Tripping, midtempo contemporary folk from Brittany. Cool. *7. Fun, old-fashioned hornpipe/clog set. Midtempo & bouncy. 8. Midtempo waltz featuring nice interplay between performers. 9. Set of folk dances, starts mid, picks up a bit. Nicely played. *10. Slow air/reel set. Sad & really lovely then nostalgic. 11. Flute/guitars blend for two dance. Midtempo, picks up. *12. Fast. A Scots classic then another upbeat dance. Fun. 13. Fiddle/pipe duet on a slow air. Haunting. | ||
