Fiddler from Danu

This is his first solo album. A good mix of Irtrad and contemporary tunes plus some tunes from other places. Oisin is is a great player who can really rip on those fast tunes, but still manages to play very soulfully on slower tunes. Guests on this album are Peter Browne on Box, Ronan Browne on Pipes, Tony Byrne on Guitar, Aongus McAuley on Cello, Shane McGowan on Guitar, and Peter Molloy on Flute. This album is worth buying for Oisin and Ronan's duet version of Port Na Bpucai.

Quebec Reels

Gigue à Pierre/Reel à Ti-Douard

Those two reels are not commonly heard. The first one is sometimes called Gigue à Pierre but I would not bet my life on that title. The second is from the repertoire of Edouard "Ti-Douard" Richard, a fiddler from Grande-Vallee, a town on the north shore of the Gaspesie peninsula.
