I was surprised this hadn’t been posted already, but it seems to be quite a hard recording to track down. I don’t believe it ever made it onto CD in its’ entirety, although one compilation CD, combined with some tracks by Sean McAloon and John Rea, has 9 of the tracks on it. "Ossian" in Cork did release it as a cassette tape, I think around 1991. A bit of a “warts and all” recording, you get the feeling that this was a “field” recording done in one fell swoop. Lively playing though.
Hi, Kevin - This recording was discussed [ in all its’ various incarnations ] on the “Chiff & Fipple” flute forum recently. The joint CD with Rea and McAloon was on Robin Morton’s “Temple” label. Robin is manager of the “Battlefield Band” and could be contacted through either their website, or “Temple’s” own website. I think he may have been involved in the original recording, and played bodhran on the album. He would be the first person to contact.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think all of the recordings which were made by the “Topic” label were bought by Dave Bulmer after the company went bust. How it got to “Temple”, I have no idea, but it may be something to do with Robin Morton’s involvement.
Catalogue numbers of the recordings can be got from the discussion on “Chiff & Fipple” website.
I think possibly all the tunes on this recording are actually in the database, but the links won't necessarily take you to the correct tune first time. Anyone looking for any specific tune would be advised to do a search and look through all the possible tunes listed. The one that I'm not sure about is on Track 11, listed as "Highland". I know it from somewhere, but can't think where or when. It's not the tune you'll be directed to by the link.
I have to own up to changing some of the titles from the recording sleeve. Many of them seemed to be "one-off" names for tunes, ie - names you wouldn't find associated to the tunes anywhere apart from this recording.
Oh - and the "Wind That Shakes The Barley" version is very different from the standard version. So different that I may well post it soon.

A great recording, mostly duet (flute & fiddle), but with a few solo recordings of each. So who actually owns the right? Put me in touch.
