When I posted this recording, I failed to mention that Eamonn is a piper - I believe from Belfast - currently living in Florida, in the US. I met Eamonn, his sister Roisin, wife Erin, and Roisin's husband (John?) when they were playing in East Durham during Catskill Irish Arts Week a few years ago. They are super super nice people, and out-of-this-world musicians.
This recording has some fantastic playing on it, although for my tastes, it sometimes has too many "world music" layers added to the mix. I just listen right thru that stuff and enjoy the playing and admire the players.
Great piping
Eamonn does a great version of Farewell to Erin on this recording. You can hear some samples at http://www.eamonndillon.com
Eamonn if you ever read this, it was good to see you and the family earlier this year. Good luck in the US of A
