JOHN CREAVEN: THE STORY SO FAR
John Creave: flute
Dennis Cahill: bouzouki
John is a flute player originally from Menlo, Co. Galway, who now resides in Michigan, and has just released his first recording, produced with the help of Dennis Cahill who, while known for his guitar work behind Martin Hayes, here plays simple bouzouki accompaniments on a few tracks. John has a lovely, clear playing style and an easy pace to his music, which makes this CD a great listen for students of the Irish flute.
