about
Both Seamus Ennis and the duet playing of Clare fiddler Joe Ryan and Cavan harmonica player and singer Eddie Clarke would be my source for this first hornpipe. I’ve always loved its lonesome and melancholy nature, qualities which are brought out via the above artists. Cal
Callaghan was an uncle of Padraig O’Keefe and spent some time in Kentucky in the 1880s, bringing a then unknown style of fiddle playing to an area rich with a regional style of its own. Certain elements of American old-time fiddle music have been compared to the Sliabh Luachra style, and it is easy to hear why. The tune can be found in Ceol Rince na hEireann, Volume 2. The second hornpipe was learned from one of the earliest recordings I heard growing up, Matt Molloy and Sean Keane’s 1985 Green Linnet LP Contentment is Wealth, and is still one of my favorites today. Galway accordion maestro Joe Burke also recorded it in 1965 on the landmark LP he made with Andy McGann and Felix Dolan, A Tribute to Michael Coleman.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

Arragnements fit together perfectly, piping is precise, variations accentuate the tunes well and the rhythm section is dancing! Unique and enjoyable all around! MichaelD

Nick's settings and playing of these old tunes on his instrument are just superb. When I first saw his track list I was shocked, He had found more tracks from Oscar and Malvina than I had in years of searching. This album remains a musical and academic delight! Wetootwaag
