CIAN: THREE SHOUTS FROM A HILL
Cian are Brian Duke (flute), Padraig Rynne (concertina), Tim Murray (vocals, guitar), and Damien Quinn (bodhran). The high-powered playing of Duke and Rynne, the latter in a style reminiscent of Nomos' Niall Vallely, on the well-chosen instrumental medleys is what makes one take notice. While Murray's singing, fortunately confined to only two tracks, is rather underwhelming, his skills as an accompanist as well as Quinn's insistent drumming complement the lead playing nicely.
