Re: Carty or Gavin

I'm a John Carty kind of guy myself. I hold the same opinion when both play the flute as well. Both being mighty fine flute players as well.

Re: Carty or Gavin

When it comes to cheesy 1980's album covers, Frankie Gavin definitely wins.

I think they are both great fiddlers and would be hard pressed to state a preference. Mommy and daddy loves all their children equally.

Re: Carty or Gavin

John Carty has the best album names.

At It Again
I Will If I Can
Yeh, That's Al It Is.

Does it get any better?

(no not a recording name, but it could be ;-) )

Re: Carty or Gavin

Fair enough question if you're bored.

Re: Carty or Gavin

Carty. While I respect the skill that he demonstrates, Gavin is often too busy and fast for my taste.

Both are Masters of their Art with their own styles - never did like competitions.

Re: Carty or Gavin

I'd be on the Carty team as well. As regards album names, rumour has it he's a bit of a farmer so i'm banking on the next album being called "Pull the Udder one".......

Re: Carty or Gavin

frankie reminds me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Not an insult to him by any means...
