FIRST HEARING:
A nice warm sounding fiddle jauntily into a hornpipe which is a nice contrast to our Irish friends flying in with reels galore.
Although 'new' to us the indications are that this album has been around for a few years now.
This is in the traditional style of fiddle and piano (the player of which remains anonymous as far as we can read the notes).
