On
the Fly
A
new Patrick Street CD
with
Kevin Burke, Andy Irvine, Ged Foley and John
Carty featuring
Jackie Daly
ON THE FLY is the new
album from celebrated traditional Irish band
PATRICK STREET, on Loftus
Music. Now in their third decade, Patrick
Street are considered "the Irish supergroup"
with musical heritages dating straight back
to The Bothy Band, Planxty and De Dannan.
The new CD indicates the opening of an exciting
new chapter for the group, as well as a change
in one of its longest-running line-ups. Renowned
accordion player and founding member Jackie
Daly has decided to step down from the "Street,"
and leaves us with some dynamic playing on
the album. Meanwhile, respected multi-instrumentalist
and newest member John Carty makes his Patrick
Street recording debut.
On the Fly is the band's
eleventh release and perhaps the most profoundly
traditional, with many of the tunes rooted
in the rural music of County Sligo. Both John
Carty and Kevin Burke spent their early years
there, soaking up music that the wider world
learned mainly from recordings. Now considered
two of the finest fiddlers of their generations,
they team up here for some thrilling sets
of tunes. John's imaginative phrasing and
Kevin's silky tone joyfully portray the rhythmic
ebb and flow of the swift, rolling Sligo music
on which they were raised.

Across
the Black River
A
new CD by Kevin Burke & Cal Scott with special guests Johnny B.
Connolly, Michael McGoldrick and Phil Baker
This
recording is an exciting collaboration between Irish
fiddler, Kevin Burke and guitarist/composer, Cal
Scott. The two first met while working on a documentary
about "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland.
Cal was commissioned to compose the score and he
engaged Kevin as a consultant on the project. They
enjoyed working together so much that when it was
completed they continued to spend time together,
playing, recording and exchanging musical ideas.
Across the
Black River is their first CD together.

In
Tandem
Kevin Burke and Ged
Foley
Since
1994, when they first met, Kevin
and singer/instrumentalist Ged
Foley have played a lot of
music together but In
Tandem is their first duo recording.
It will come as no surprise to anyone who
knows their music that this CD is a work
of smooth, unhurried elegance.
With
a minimum of studio effects, the
sophistication of the production skills
and musical craftsmanship is very much in
evidence as is to be expected from two musicians
who for many years have been playing music
at the highest level of the genre.
In
Tandem presents the listener with both the
intimacy and immediacy of a deeply personal,
almost private, performance.
The
first album from this group with the
original line up of Kevin Burke, Jackie Daly,
Andy Irvine, and Arty McGlynn. Several
tracks from this album have come to be regarded
as "classics", including Indiana
and The Holy Ground.
