well,i checked and it's big helpings of humble pie for me...(see my post of 212/8/02 in this section!)
this is one of my favourite albums but i have big reservations about some of the backing in this one - i've never been a great fan of that 'choppy' style of guitar playing which is evident in some of the tracks here.
suffice to say that i like this stlye of fiddle playing as well as the clare stuff!
but you should try to listen to this one if you have n't already.
this will teach me not to post after drops of the not so pure stuff...
In contyradistinction to 'biggus dave's' taste I DO like this style of accompaniment. It manages to be both percussive and harmonically supportive of the melodies. I'm a big fan of both Paul Brady's and Arty McGlynn's styles of accompaniment too.
Á propos: does anyone know who IS playing the guitar on this album?
Track 9: Andy McGann's Hornpipe/Calloran's Retreat
In case anyone is wondering, it seems they are better known as The Tailor's Twist and Flaherty's Hornpipe, respectively. They are both on the Andy McGann/Paul Reynolds Duet album (as is Callanan's Retreat), and that may be the source of the apparent confusion over names. But then again, what's in a name?
Hoist by my own...etc

The track 8 Paddy Fahy's is at http://thesession.org/tunes/display/2940, btw, and the Eddy Kelly's is at http://thesession.org/tunes/display/2815 (look in the comments for the transcription of the Glackin version).
