The Flowing Tide

Produced by Tony Engle, John Tams & Neil Wayne in 1975 for TOPIC 12TFRS503 stereo

“His reportoire, unlike that of many musicians, is not dominated by the reel and the jig; Chris Droney’s playing is well leavened with the set dances, marches, polkas, hornpipes and slow airs of Clare. Music that epitomizes the true traditional reportoire of one of the finer concertina players of County Clare”

I love Chris’s music, dancing to it, listening to it, a fine musician and dancer, and a generous soul…
