Four comments

This CD features the playing of Vincent Campbell, Maurice Bradley, Stephen Campbell, Roisin McGrory & Damian Harrigan, James Byrne & Ronan Galvin.

If you like Donegal Fiddling you’ll love this, no frills, just raw Fiddle Music.

There are at least Three volumes to watch out for.

Marvellous stuff even if most of the tunes do not translate well to the concert flute. Standout track (among many) is Vincent Campbell playing that mighty highland “King George IV”. Vincent is a man of pointed wit who also talks a great tune as well as playing it.
