Patrick Street, On the Fly -- short description
On
the Fly, Oct. 2007
Patrick Street
Andy Irvine, Kevin Burke, Ged Foley and John Carty
Possibly the most traditional album ever from
Patrick Street. With this release, found band member Jacky Daly bids adieu
with 2 tracks of his signature Sliabh Luachra style tunes. John Carty and
Kevin
Burke explore the tunes of North Connacht with rich double-fiddle sounds.
Carty's flute and banjo give the group a fresh sound.
Andy Irvine's contributes three great traditional songs picked from his vast
repertoire. Ged Foley, whose reliably excellent guitar work provides the
glue,
gives us a striking rendition of "The Galway Shawl."
