This is a great recording. Certainly one of the bests in my huge ITM collection. Fabulous banjo and box duets with tasty guitar or piano accompaniment of John Blake and Allan McCartney.
The banjo and box duet is not so common in the recordings, but it sometimes happens in the real sessions and is one of my favourite combinations of instruments.
Just received this CD in the mail, along with John Carty and Brian McGrath's THE CAT THAT ATE THE CANDLE, which is considered a classic by many. The two compare very nicely to each other.
What I really like about the Carberry/Quinn duets is their relaxed groove. They really sing the tunes. There is a real exchange between the banjo and the box, with the banjo clarifying the box and the box mellowing the banjo. These two musicians seemed to have spent a lot time together, and their performance is really tight.
ANGELINA CARBERRY & MARTIN QUINN - Reeltrad RTR 001
"ANGELINA CARBERRY & MARTIN QUINN - Reeltrad RTR 001" is a great traditional recording and can be bought off their own website: http://www.reeltrad.com in the "BUY OUR CD's" section. It's nice to buy directly from the artists themselves, as this way you know that at least they are getting the profits for their hard work and great music. Fabulous accompaniment by John Blake on the Guitar & Piano and Alan McCartney on the Guitar. Excellent traditional CD!
Almost forgot, and I'm only doing the one, the first tune in the set played by this pair for Custys. They call it "Sean O Duibhir an Gleanna", which is isn't, it is "Pol Ha'penny":
If anyone know the answer to this question - I would really appreciate it. On the recent recording Angelina Carberry & Martin Quinn there is a tune listed as 'Burnes Reel' that comes after the 'Green Groves of Erin.'
I have been unable to locate this tune anywhere. Does anyone know that tune - Is this the correct title? Or am I looking in the wrong places?
It is a version of the Primrose Lass but not the one on the website. It's on Dervish's recording "Harmony Hill" so get yourself a copy of that album if you want the tune.

Well, look at compliments to their performance from other members:

And visit their website for some samples and their biographies: http://www.reeltrad.com
There are also some solo tracks. Of course, Angelina's banjo playings are cool, but Martin's solo melodeon playing on the track 11 is really awesome!

Does anyone know those great hornpipes they are playing in the video clip? They aren't on the recording, and I've never heard them before.

There are hi & lo res versions here. For some reason the hi-resolution one can interfere with the audio and crash Internet Explorer ...

Tune Question - 'Burnes Reel'
Hi Session Folks,
If anyone know the answer to this question - I would really appreciate it. On the recent recording Angelina Carberry & Martin Quinn there is a tune listed as 'Burnes Reel' that comes after the 'Green Groves of Erin.'
I have been unable to locate this tune anywhere. Does anyone know that tune - Is this the correct title? Or am I looking in the wrong places?
Thanks - Steve

Burnes Reel
It is a version of the Primrose Lass but not the one on the website. It's on Dervish's recording "Harmony Hill" so get yourself a copy of that album if you want the tune.

I disagree. It's a different tune. I transcribed Dervish's version of the Primrose Lass back in Feb 2007 in the comments of that tune http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/789/comments. The tune Carberry/Quinn call "Burnes" is actually Within a Mile of Clonbur http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/7622.

A perfomance from The Catskills Irish Arts Week 2007. The set includes the two tune on the first track of this album, plus the great Strokestown Reel.
