ANDREW MacNAMARA: DAWN
A lovely solo album by the accordion player from Tulla, Co. Clare, formerly a member of the Tulla Ceili Band, then of Skylark with fiddle player Gerry O'Connor and singer Len Graham, and more recently the Lahawns (see "Live at Winkles" and "Live at Lena's"). MacNamara has a nice way with the tunes, finding lots of nice twists without falling into gimmickry. Understated accompaniments by Brendan Hearty (guitar), Geraldine Cotter (piano), and Tommy Hayes (percussion).
