Declan Corey

All in all, quite a nice album.

Its important to state, that this isn’t a 100% traditional Irish music album, there are different tunes original pieces and some contemporary singing….still though, the musicianship is tight.

There are some lovely stringed pieces, featuring mandolin and guitar. The Concertina is played by Shane Bracken and is definitely worth checking out. Fiddle in parts is not as prominent as I would like it to be, but is nicely played.

This one is defintiely worth a listen, for string and concertina lovers.

The one and only Joe Foley and Me. He made my Mandolin and his Bouzuki from the the same piece of cedar.
