The Lewis family are : John [ flute ], Breda [mandolin ], and their 2 children Patsy [ concertina ] and Liam [ fiddle ]. This was recorded on the Tara label in 1978. Music mainly from their local area of Galway, including 3 of Paddy Fahey's compositions. What you see is what you get - 4 musicians playing in various combinations, with no "guest" apperances, straightforward , simple arrangements of a fine selection of tunes , all at the very leisurely pace so common of East Galway - style players. A lovely album.

A few years down the track but I have had this album on cassette for many years and well passed around among friends.
I have just digitised it and it is great to hear it again.
Kenny hit it on the spot in 2005 with his words.
