Fiddle and bodhran, sounds simple eh!
Well it is here or at least they make it sound so easy.
Another challenging album as they stay away from the traditionally obvious and put a new slant of things that keep your interest throughout.
There is a bit of guitar & fiddle support that gives added 'colour' to the playing of the two principles (as if that were needed`).
Well worth a listen.
