Rainy sundys………windy Dreams.
What about Xmas Eve?
KS Slap thy wrist!
How could anyone post this CD & not mention Frankie Gavin’s Christmas Eve - on Viola - it’s quite magnificent & by a country mile the definitive version for me. First time I heard this LP I must have played that Longford Weaver track, which has Christmas Eve seemlessly gliding in at the end, about 50 times, over & over - Jews Harp is great in there too!
Some things just have to be said!!
yes, I learned x-mas eve off that record years ago. And I now love to play the tune on the viola, it really suits the instrument
well,between the pair of you lads,you’ve sold this album to me as usually i don’t like listening to reels played on viola so i’m interested!
Christmas Eve
I agree about the Longford Weaver into Christmas Eve…..I also played it endlessly!
Rainy Sundays Windy Dreams
Does anybody know where i could buy a CD recording of this great album? All i can find is on LP.

Possibly at one of Andy’s gigs - He’s in Bunratty on 4th July.

Hmm … I haven’t listened to that record for 20 years … since my record player broke. I remember being always irritated by the saxophone solo. But x-mas eve on the viola made up for it I think.
strayaway, thanks a million. I guess I’ll know where too look besides domestic amazon now!

Sadly, amazon.co.uk doesn’t ship to the states, at least for this CD…
