New CD "Between Two Shores" is now Available
This is an eclectic slice of Celtic music--a potpourri of flute,whistle, guitar, fiddle, pipes, drums and vocals, "Cry for Unity," with a touch of electric guitar, is a slow-paced plea for an end to the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. > "Gallant Band" praises the patriots who made it possible for Ireland to become a free nation, while a la similarly states it is time for all to experience peace, freedom and liberty.> "Step Together" is an expatriate's remembrance of the small things that go a long way in forming community in rural Ireland while >"I Want to Come Back" portrays the importance of and need to hold on to memories. >"Here Comes the Night" continues the theme of the warmth of distant but pleasant memories. The fiddle and percussion-backed >"Life of the Party," jauntily detailing a road trip through the west of Ireland, has a catchy, pleasing rhythm. Nashville sounding "Bonfires," fueled by harmonica backing, with percussion, solidly captures the revelry of a 'fest in May' party.
