SIOBHAN PEOPLES & MURTY RYAN: TIME ON OUR HANDS

Siobhan Peoples: fiddle

Murty Ryan: accordion

Donnacha Moynihan: guitar

Cyril O'Donoghue: bouzouki

John Moloney: bodhran

Siobhan Peoples, daughter of the famous Donegal fiddle player and ex Bothy Band member Tommy Peoples, is a brilliant fiddler herself--you would never know, listening to her, that a left hand injury forces her to use only two fingers for most of her playing. Murty Ryan is a young box player from Co. Tipperary who now resides and plays music in and around Ennis, Co. Clare. The two musicians have put together a great collection of tunes, including several compositions by Siobhan and her father, as well as some by Ed Reavy, Paddy O'Brien, Vincent Broderick, and a superb slip jig by harpist Michael Rooney. This is crisp, exciting playing by two very talented musicians, with flawless accompaniments by Moynihan, O'Donoghue, and Moloney.
