Every year in May
the 'Fiddle Faithful' gather in Declan McCarthy's tiny bar in the village
of Baltimore, West Cork, to make some of the finest fiddle music on the
planet for the lucky 100-or-so guests who have managed to acquire a ticket.
This CD represents the highlights of the 2003 festival and from the opening
strains of Calico by Songdogs to the fading notes of Long Nights on the
Misty Moor by Liz Carroll and Paul Meehan, it is simply some of the best
playing you will hear anywhere! The likes of Altan and Paul Brady make
an appearance but, frankly, after a while it doesn't seem to matter much
who is playing ('though I have to confess a soft spot for the 'old timey'
numbers from the Foghorn String Band). If you struggle to find this CD
you could try making your way to Declan McCarthy's Bar, or maybe send
an email to info@redhatmusic.com. There's not much more I can say, really,
except..."How on earth do I get hold of a ticket for next year's festival?" |
