"This is the first time that Josephine Keegan has recorded on fiddle with an accompanist.
The previous five solo LP's, made many years ago and now deleted, had Josephine double tracking her own piano accompaniment.
Now seventy years of age, she makes her first solo album for twenty-five years, having spent much of her musical life as accompanist to many other musicians.
It is now over half a century since she won her All-Ireland Oireachtas Gold Medal in 1955." ....www.tradmusic.com
Although I've never met Josephine, I have found her to be a very friendly, warm-hearted and generous person with a great devotion to the music. She has kindly granted me permission to publish several of her tunes.
I have enjoyed her previous CD "The Keegan Tunes" and highly recommend it. I have just ordered "The Fairy Bridges" and look forward to a listen.
