The Kilmore Fancy (CD)


by
Catherine and John McEvoy

Fine traditional music on fiddle and flute.

The tunes are beautiful, some being compositions of John, and the music is played with straightforward artistry. A polished performance from sister and brother, showing a talent for spontaneous, subtle melodic variation and a great depth of tradition in their playing, yet the music is fresh and exciting. With Felix Dolan's sensitive and unobtrusive piano accompaniment. Traditional music at its best, living and thriving and flowing effortlessly and naturally; a masterpiece of duet playing.
