CHARLIE PIGGOTT & GERRY HARRINGTON: THE NEW ROAD
Charlie Piggott: accordion
Gerry Harrington: fiddle
Sean O'Loingsigh: bouzouki
Johnny McDonagh: bodhran
Eugene Kelly: piano
Former De Danann member Charlie Piggott and former Smoky Chimney fiddle player Gerry Harrington have released a lovely CD. If you enjoyed Harrington's work in Smoky Chimney, it's likely that you'll notice the similarity with this album, gently paced, with a delightful selection of tunes and interesting settings. Beautiful traditional music.
