Fair play to you lads. The music is very intimate, consisting mainly of concertina, fiddle, and some fine piano playing by guests such as Felix Dolan and Barbara Macdonald Magone. The playing by all concerned is exquisite and wonderfully sensitive to local styles. The aim is to take the listener to a kitchen in east Co. Clare or Co. Galway. Put the CD on, make a pot of tea, close your eyes, and its easy to imagine being there.
Superb liner notes too.
Two S.F. locals produce a remarkably fine album. Dana may be best known as the fiddler for Orla and the Gasmen. Junji is the ubiquitous guitar player for Jodys Heaven , Cronan and Typsy House . However, of their many appearances, it may be on this CD that they both shine the best. This is a straightforward collection of Irish tunes played without gimmicks, but lovingly and with wonderful skill.
