Like the CD itself, the tunes are a vivid illustration of what happens when a fiddler combines technical mastery with a lifetime of playing and thinking about Irish traditional music. At times the mind boggles even as the foot keeps tapping.

Highlights are many, but undoubtedly include five of Seamus Gibson’s compositions.
