Brothers Alan (accordion) and John (flute) make the sort of noise that gets this trad fan very excited. They're joined by a rake of talent ... Arty McGlynn, Rod McVey, Jim Higgins, Cyril O'Donoghue, Brian McGrath and John Maloney. Superb!
Not to miss brother alan...
But this is some of the cleanest, nicest flute playing you'll ever hear.
His beautifully done version of the Reel to Rio is fab!
"Alan Kelly is a fast-fingered phenomenon from Roscommon with two excellent solo recordings to his name. Here he's joined by ~ brother John on flutes and whistles ~ one of my favourite hornpipes, The Mountain Ranger. Here as elsewhere, Alan and John take turn about to start a set, giving a varied and relaxed feel to the whole album. ~
Great tunes, mighty players, good craic, and plenty of it: let's hope there's more where this came from."
This is a beautiful rendition of this tune as a slow air. Can anyone fill me in the details of it? It doesn't resemble "The Parting Glass" on this web site or the jig version that I'm familiar with. I bought the album off of emusic, so I don't have the liner notes. Thanks for your help in advance.

I agree, but don't forget Alan and Brian McGrath's box/banjo duet on track 11.

Slow air, "Parting Glass", track 6
