This new album is mostly made up of duets with my friend Tara Finn. Tara and I are both originally from Sligo and have enjoyed playing together for years. On this record she plays concertina, flute, pipes and tin-whistle, while I play the fiddle and guitar and also sing a couple of songs - all of which we hope contributes to a diverse and interesting album! 
We were lucky to be joined by Seamie O'Dowd on guitar, Brian McDonagh on mandola, and Junior Davey on the bodhran. 
This is my first solo CD, launched in 2012. 
Well not totally solo because, as well as my fiddle playing and singing, here you can also hear Seamie O'Dowd on guitar and Caroline Locke on piano, both of whom made a wonderful contribution by way of accompaniment.
The album contains 15 tracks in all - five songs and ten tracks of fiddle music, including reels, jigs, a slow air and even a waltz. See below for the full track-list.
