DVD - DERVISH: THE MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT SESSION
Performed by the third Dervish line-up, with Tom Morrow on fiddle and Seamus O'Dowd on guitar and fiddle, along with several guests, including renowned Sligo flute player Seamus Tansey. Although filmed on a set made to look like a pub (Sibin, in Spiddal, Co. Galway) rather than in the real thing, there is a nice relaxed feel to the proceedings, as the musicians perform sitting in a booth-like semi-circle. The music, which corresponds more or less to the material recorded for the album by the same title, is terrific, and the filming is as impressive as that on Dervish's "Live at Johnny Fox's" DVD. Very enjoyable indeed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: although apparently coded "all-region," this DVD plays on my computer but not on my older DVD player.
