This is really nice, and clean & professional.
And different too. Listening through the tracks you get pulled into the all round quality and ten you realise that there's a lack of jigs and reels, often taking up full albums but here only a couple of jigs and three reels. The rest is a broader spread of styles and that adds to the entertainment value.
There's also a couple of tracks that appears to feature 'the Murphy clan'. Spread the word!
1) Polkas: West Kerry Polka - Murphy's - Daly's Mill
2) Reels: John McGrath's - Kilcoon - Milltown Session
3) Slides: Abbeyfeale - Knocknagree - Cuz Teahan's
4) Hornpipes: Tailor's Twist - The Strand
5) Jigs: King of the Pipers - Conneely's Jig - Valentia Jig
6) Reels: Master Crowley's - The Rookery - Shetland Reel
7) Lament: Ain Caoineadh Ui Dhomhnaill
8) Slides: Bidi an muirnin - Garravane - Johnny O'Leary's
