Fiddle music from the Cork /Kerry border known as Sliabh Luachra (The Rushy Mountain).

CEFCD057 Sesmus Creagh - Jackie Daly

One of the greatest musical traditions in Ireland is that which belongs to the music of Sliabh Luachra, home of some of the best traditional music we are ever likely to hear. The finest exponents of this music must certainly be Jackie Daly and Séamus Creagh.

Traditional music from Cork on box, fiddle and keyboards. Pat Sullivan is a box-player with a lively, energetic style which has endeared him to set-dancers in particular. Vince Milne is an imaginative and flamboyant fiddle-player from the Clonakilty area of West Cork. Bríd Cranitch is widely respected as a keyboard player who is never content to limit herself to the monotonous vamping we sometimes hear from céilí band pianists.

This 2-CD set produced by Junior's daughter Ita contains 25 tracks of the famous West Clare fiddle player talking and playing, sometimes together with family members and musician-friends like Tony Crehan (concertina), Angela & Ita Crehan (tinwhistles), P.J. Crotty (flute), Bobby Casey (fiddle) and Eamon McGivney (fiddle). A couple of additional tracks consist of Junior's wife Cissie singing a song, and Junior's mother Baby playing concertina--she was recorded in 1963 at age 87. This is an essential archival recording fro anyone interested in Irish fiddle music.

This is probably one of the most important releases of the decade! illustrious fiddle player Bobby Casey (1926-2000) was born near the Crosses of Annagh, Co. Clare. His father was John 'Scully' Casey, the leading fiddler of his day in West Clare, although it wasactually from Junior Crehan that Bobby learnt his first tune. Moving to London in 1952 Bobby forged several key musical friendships with other exiled Claremen including Tommy McCarthy, Joe Ryan and Vincent Griffin, and exerted enormous influence on London's traditional Irish music scene. In the late 60s Bobby featured on the seminal album ‘Paddy in the Smoke’ and the music on this new CD was recorded at around the same time by Reg Hall and Bill Leader.

A stalwart of the London Irish scene (as was his father, Clare-born Bobby Casey) shows off his his unique and even eccentric fiddle style.

FCLAR 4 John Kelly - Fiddle & Concertina

John Kelly was born in the district of Rehy West, County Clare, and for over thirty years was a force in Irish music - he was a member of Seán Ó Riada's Ceoltóirí Cualainn, of the Castle Ceilidh Band, and of Ceoltóirí Laighean, and regular musician at respected Dublin sessions. John's fiddling is in the relaxed Clare style and his concertina playing is spikier, with subtle variations of notes, the occasional harmonic effect, and again that off-beat emphasis.

GLCD1233 Welcome Here Again

Martin Hayes epitomizes the fiddle music of County Clare for many people. He started playing when he was seven years old and, by the age of thirteen, was touring with the Tulla Ceili Band, arguably the most revered and famous ceili band in Ireland at the time which was led by his father, PJ Hayes.

GLCD1127 Martin Hayes

Martin Hayes was just coming to international prominence when this, his first solo album, was released. He plays fiddle in a style modeled on the playing of the older fiddlers in his home county of

Clare in the west of Ireland; it 's a gentle, understated approach, never very fast, with lots of slides and a subtle but very expressive use of dynamics. On this album, Hayes had not yet achieved the maturity of tone that would later manifest itself on his next effort (Under the Moon, GLCD 1155), nor is his intonation as effortlessly perfect as it would later become. But his basic conception is fully in place: his aching, midtempo delivery of "The Morning Star" (which is usually played much more briskly) is completely convincing, as is his intricate solo turn on "The Star of Munster" and the simple but gorgeous "The Britches." Guitarist Randal Bayes is a modest presence throughout, but pay attention to what he's doing and you'll find it's almost as impressive as Hayes' playing.

GLCD1127 Under the Moon

Martin Hayes is a fiddler from County Clare whose sure but gentle touch and deep musical intelligence have combined to produce one of the most satisfying recordings of traditional music in a long time. Accompanied in most cases by only an understated guitar, and in duet on one lovely track with his father, Hayes performs a long set of tunes that range from the familiar ("Rakish Paddy," "The Cliffs of Moher") to the more obscure ("Kilnamona Barndance," "Farewell to Milltown"). What is special about this album isn't so much the material Hayes has chosen, though it's all lovely; instead, it's his unflagging focus on the tunes themselves rather than on his own virtuosity that makes "Under the Moon" both musically inspiring and emotionally rewarding. In a field dominated by fiery virtuosos, many of whom seeming intent on throwing every fleet-fingered ornament possible into every phrase they play, Hayes plays for the tune itself. He interprets and embellishes it, of course, but always in a way that reveals the music rather than obscuring it. There are no barnburners on this album; even the uptempo numbers are played with gentle assurance instead of headlong abandon. When he cuts a note, it is with the quietest, quickest tap of a finger; when he slides into another, it is with the slow, languorous grace of a lover's caress. Yet he never sounds overearnest or academic in his playing, either; he sounds conscientious, not self-conscious. The effect is one of an expatriate speaking after a long exile the native language that he loves, or of a father gently explaining an ancient craft to his child. Stunning. It nearly made me tear up. ~ Rick Anderson

GLCD1181 The Lonesome Touch

The Lonesome Touch finds Martin Hayes and guitarist Dennis Cahill turning in another collection of lovely, suprisingly innovative Irish folk and celtic music. Hayes and Cahill keep within the traditions of the music, but open it up with luxurious space and inventive phrasing. Like their previous collection, Under the Moon, it's a pretty, enchanting record that shows how Irish music can move forward without losing its roots. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

GLCD1195 Live in Seattle

If Irish fiddle music and the prospect of relentless reels is where you and folk music part company, then prepare for a road-to-Damascus-type conversion. Raised in East Clare, where the fiddle style is "generally slow and lyrical in nature," Seattle resident Martin Hayes and his accompanying guitarist Dennis Cahill deliver an enthralling and energetic set which seems to be imbued with the very spirit of Ireland. Comprised of the second half of a January 1999 concert, this recording is no sentimental, idealised evocation of a far-away land, but a celebration of a music which is shown to be rich and diverse, ranging from slow and tender to fast and furious. This is particularly evident on the epic, 27-minute medley central to this performance, during which 11 tunes including "Rakish Paddy" and elements of Pachelbel's 'Canon' are woven into a rich tapestry. The aural equivalent of James Joyce, it's highly lyrical. If you have yet to succumb to Irish fiddle music then this is the album to do the trick. Recorded live at The Tractor Tavern, Seattle, Washington on January 31, 1999. Includes liner notes by Martin Hayes.

CEFD161 Michael Coleman 1891-1945

The double CD comes with a revised edition of the Harry Bradshaw biography of Coleman which features photos and interviews with people who knew Coleman. Michael Coleman (1891-1945) emigrated to the USA where he enjoyed a very successful recording career. His records have influenced generations of players. So famous is Coleman that the area of south Sligo where he came from is known in music circles as ‘Coleman Country’. This collection of vintage recordings has been unavailable for a time and the revised edition in its new format will be much appreciated by devotees of authentic fiddle music. Coleman was a master musician and the exemplar of the Sligo style of fiddle playing. This collection comprises 48 tracks which were recorded in the States mainly in the 1920s, when Coleman was in his prime.

And just released is the eagerly awaited double CD of Danny Meehan, a stalwart of the London Irish scene who hails from near Mountcharles, Co. Donegal. The album features mostly solo playing plus some duets with Aidan O'Donnell on fiddle and with Donal Kelly on melodeon.

Marking the centenary of Tommie Potts’ birth in 1912, RTÉ has just released only the second commercially available recording of the Dublin fiddle-player who died in 1988. Claddagh Records formerly released the influential LP The Liffey Banks in 1972.

Compiled and produced by fiddle-player Paddy Glackin, Tommie Potts – Traditional Fiddle Music from Dublin contains 47 tracks of music and spoken-word recordings, including two unnamed compositions by Potts (a reel and a slip-jig).

The recordings were sourced from three collections: tapes made by Potts for flute and fiddle-player Peadar O’Loughlin in 1962–3; studio and outside broadcast recordings made by producer Tony MacMahon in 1975 and 1977 for his RTÉ Radio programme The Long Note; and tapes made by Potts in c. 1982 that are in the position of his nephew and former Chieftains whistle player Seán Potts.

The CD includes a 20-page booklet with an introduction by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, notes by his grand-nephew Seán Óg Potts, and archive photos of Potts with, among others, John Kelly, Willie Clancy, Breandán Breathnach, Tony MacMahon and Séamus Ennis.

A new album from Ben Lennon, fiddle, and Tony O'Connell, concertina. Ben Lennon is a legendary figure in traditional Irish music circles, a fiddler from Co. Leitrim and although almost fifty years separate Ben from his fellow musician on this album, Tony O'Connell from west Limerick, there is an undeniable musical connection between them. David Lennon, Ben's son, says in his introduction to the CD: ‘Tony is probably the most empathetic musician I have heard my father play with. There is an understanding of phrasing, time and nuance that one finds only rarely in any musical form.' This is O'Connell's second album; his first album was recorded with another Leitrim fiddler, Andy Morrow, and was released to critical acclaim in 2005. Accompaniment is provided by Charlie Lennon (piano), Alec Finn (bouzouki) and Jerry McNamara (guitar).

CEFCD060 Glackin

Glackin's primary influence came from Donegal fiddlers, most prominently John Doherty the legendary travelling fiddler whom Glackin always cites as his main influence. His influences are not limited to Donegal however, he also cites fiddlers such as John Kelly, Tommy Potts and Padraig O'Keeffe as important in shaping his overall approach. This is a CD re-issue of Paddy’s first album, recorded in 1977. It shows that even then, in his early twenties, Paddy was a master fiddler. Some tracks are accompanied by Micheal O Suilleabhain, and some by Paddy’s father, Tom, and his brothers Seamus and Kevin.

CICD 158 Fortune Favours the Merry

Peter Horan is from Killavil, Co. Sligo, and is a veteran of Irish traditional music. Growing up in 'fiddle country' meant that his flute style was largely free of the influence of other players, and he is now the last exponent of a unique style of flute playing which is not unlike the local fiddle style. Gerry Harrington is from Kenmare, Co. Kerry, and is now living in Lismore, Co. Waterford. His fiddle style is predominantly that of Sliabh Luachra. Ollie Ross brings a lovely touch to the album with lively, intuitive accompaniment on piano.

CICD 167 The Merry Love to Play

Peter Horan is a legendary flute player from Killavil, Co. Sligo and this is the second album that he has recorded with Gerry Harrington, a talented fiddler from Kenmare, Co. Kerry. Their first album, Fortune Favours the Merry, was released in 2005 to critical acclaim and The Merry Love to Play will do much to confirm their excellence as a duet. The new album is completely unaccompanied, a very rare occurrence in commercial music, allowing the listener to focus entirely on the two melody instruments and also maximizing the opportunity to hear Peter Horan's unique flute playing. The musicians' distinct styles complement each other superbly, with Gerry's delicate and airy playing providing the perfect counterbalance to Peter's rhythm-driven style. Gerry Harrington has provided meticulous notes in the booklet on the sources for the tunes.

GLCD1220 Lake Effect

These are all her compositions, and they showcase her exceptional talents as a player -- although she's a good bandleader, too, judging from the way the small ensembles on the disc work together. While she can fiddle up a storm, she doesn't mind handing over the spotlight to John Doyle, whose work, guitar, and especially bouzouki are outstanding throughout.

LUNCD 17 Molloy, Brady, Peoples

This album is something of a summit meeting between two major powers in Irish music -- fiddler Tommy Peoples and flutist Matt Molloy, both veterans of the legendary Bothy Band and world-class instrumentalists. Guitarist Paul Brady plays a supporting role, though he steps out front to sing, beautifully, on the bitter "Shamrock Shore." Throughout most of the album, Molloy and Peoples take turns leading the trio through sets of traditional jigs and reels. Interestingly, the program includes a few session standards ("Speed the Plough," "Toss the Feathers," "The Connachtman's Rambles") but consists primarily of more obscure tunes. Molloy solos on a set of reels consisting of "The Crosses of Annagh" and "McFadden's Handsome Daughter" and delivers them with his trademark offhanded eloquence; Peoples shows off his sharp, astringent attack to perfect effect on "The Newport Lass" and "The Rambling Pitchfork."
