An interesting Mix

Players are:

Tola Custy - Fiddle
Cyril O'Donoghue - Vocals/Bouzouki/Guitar
James Duddy - Bodhran/Percussion
Cathy Custy - Concertina
Frances Custy - Fiddle
Paul O'Donoghue - Guitar

When I heard the first track I was instantly transported back to my memory of the first time I heard Promenade (Kevin Burke And Mícheál O'Domhnaill). Moving on the tracks jump around all sorts of themes with some great songs and solid accompaniment and old time tunes such as John Brown's and Abe's Retreat.

Pat Costello concludes the sleeve notes with "This is a collection of music which like a fine wine will improve with age and listening" - it sounded pretty good to me the first time round, so I look forward to future listenings.

Great set

They do a storming rendition of The Broken Pledge into Jenny's Welcome to Charlie - worth the price of the CD alone, in my opinion.

Track 10 is The Whistling Postman/Josie's Visit
