MARY MacNAMARA: TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM EAST CLARE
Mary MacNamara: concertina
P.J. Hayes: fiddle
Martin Hayes: fiddle
Seamus Quinn: piano
A lovely first solo album by this concertina player from Tulla, Co. Clare, whose subtle, sparsely decorated, and gently paced music is absolutely captivating. With guest appearances by fiddle players P.J. and Martin Hayes, and piano accompaniments by Seamus Quinn. A gem of an album.
