Five comments

Colin was born in Manchester and spent a lot of his early years in that vibrant city.
His was a very musical family with brothers and sisters all involved in traditional music, winning lots of All-Britain and All-Ireland titles over the years.
He has performed and recorded with an array of bands and artists including The Liam O’Connor band, Lúnasa, Karen Casey, The Elders, Julie Fowlis and The Michael McGoldrick Band.
Add in his work with shows like Spirit of Ireland, Dance of Desire and Magical Rhythms of Ireland and his work as a composer and you start to see the range of influences that feed into his music.

Thanks bdh! I bought it through iTunes and didn’t had all the informations.. This is indeed a great recording, and I’m in love with 2 particulary tunes that I learned by ear, the madam’s hill set (C whistle) and The Mangerton Suite (low F)!

Re: Make a Note
