This lovely 1991 release introduced us to the wonderful playing of Ennis fiddler Mary Custy and her excellent accompanist Eoin O'Neill. The two are indeed in great company here, and the contributions of "their friends" bring a lot of variety to the arrangements. But the "star" of the show remains Custy's way with the fiddle.
