CHRISTY BARRY & CONOR McCARTHY: LATE... IN THE NIGHT
Christy Barry: flute, tinwhistle, low whistle, spoons
Conor McCarthy: accordion
Cyril O'Donoghue: bouzouki, guitar, vocals
Recorded live in the famous O'Connor's Bar in Doolin, Co. Clare, by three great musicians, Christy Barry on flute and whistle, Kilfenora Ceili Band box player Conor McCarthy, and bouzouki/guitar player and singer Cyril O'Donoghue, this is the next best thing to being there in person. The music is tremendous, and so is the atmosphere. The more I hear albums of this kind (see the Lahawns as well), the more I think that's how they hould all be made.
