This is a recording for all the banjo funs.
Eamonn Coyne is a banjo player from Dublin, currently living in Edinburgh. It is great to listen to the duet with Tom Morrow's fiddle, Michael McGoldrich's flute, Ciaran Curran' bouzouki, and Kevin Doherty's vocal and guitar. The track 8 features even another banjo. It is as exciting as the second track of Solas' "The Words that Remain."
Some tracks are purely traditional, and some are jazzy or with country flavors. But the different styles are not mixed up, so no one will be disappointed.
Track 12 (The Ash Plant set) is my favorite - just Éamonn and Dermot Byrne, the button-box player from Altan. A three-minute lesson in what Irish music is supposed to sound like...
I just wish the entire CD sounded like this track, but if you like Irish Tenor Banjo, don't miss this one.
Michael McGoldrick's best flute playing can be heard on the track 9 of this recording: not too fast and very old-fashioned. I hope they will record more banjo and flute duets in the near future.
P.S. I really want to rewrite the previous comment I posted above.
The first tune on track 13 is incorrect. It should be Joe Banes Scotische (Joe Bane's Schottische), a scottish barndance. It's already listed on this website but thought I'd point it out as it was driving me nuts trying to figure it out by ear.

Track 2, Fred Finn's
The second tune on track 2 does not sound like the Fred Finn's listed in this web site. Does anyone have a better ID on it?
