The album is called Diarmuid O'Brien - Cairde Cairdín and is my first. It is fiddle and accordion duets from west Limerick. I'm performing on the fiddle with each of nine accordion players from the west Limerick area that I grew up playing with. The album is dedicated to Martin Mulvihill RIP as he was the bigest influence in my music. The album contains many of his compositions and many other tunes only common to the West Limerick area.

John Egan's

As far as I can tell this is a nice setting of the old favourite: "Drag her round the roads"
