Fidil 3

Fidil are Ciaran O‘Maonaigh, Aidan O’Donnell & Damien McGeehan

Ciarán Ó Maonaigh and Aidan O’Donnell recorded a great album last year: https://thesession.org/recordings/3022

This one should also be nice.

… seems to be the correct title of this recording.

Sorry, Slainte,

My invite to the album launch states ‘Fidil 3 - a new album from Fidil’.

Thanks for put me straight, Floss. I looked at their website and it said “New album ‘3’ out now”: http://www.fidilmusic.com/Fidil/Home__Fidil.html

Anyway, whatever it’s called, it’s on my wish list now.

It’s damned fine too, Slainte. You’re sure to enjoy it.

‘The Postman’s Knock’ is actually a James Scott Skinner composition, ‘Le Messe’ (‘The Messiah’), written in honour of a Stradivarius fiddle on display in Oxford’s Ashmolean museum. Needless to say, the tune was subsequently Donegal-ised.

I didn’t know that about Postman’s Knock. It’s on one of my Morris dance albums so I always thought it was only from there.
