Chris Cormac: guitar
Michelle O'Leary: piano
Eamonn O'Neill: piano

A short but interesting collection of recordings made by the two Manchester prodigies fresh from their All-Ireland duet victory in 1989. It gives a fascinating glimpse, for those of us who didn't have a chance to experience it in person, at the raw talent shown by the two young musicians who received a standing ovation from the Fleadh audience, and who went on to bigger and better things.
