PAUL KELLY: A MANDOLIN ALBUM

Paul Kelly: mandolin, bouzouki, fiddle

Emer Mayock: flute

John Whelan: guitars

Trevor Hutchinson: double bass

Trevor Knight: keyboards

Robert Harris, Brian Fleming: percussion

A lovely album featuring the mandolin, played quite delicately by Paul Kelly who also plays bouzouki and fiddle, with appropriately understated accompaniments of guitar, bass (Trevor Hutchinson), and percussions, and an appearance by Emer Mayock on flute. The material ranges from traditional music to newly composed tunes in the traditional idiom, to Scandinavian tunes and even a Debussy piece. Very enjoyable even if not all pure drop.
