BRENDAN HENDRY, PAUL MCSHERRY, NODLAIG BROLLY |
||||
Brendan Hendry – Fiddle, Paul McSherry – Guitars and Bouzouki, and Nodlaig Brolly – Clairseach, Piano and Vocals, have produced a very nice album of music and song. Traditional and traditionally set items sit comfortably together in one of the best programmes of recorded music I have heard for a long time. Their repertoire includes songs, two sung in Irish, one in English, reels, jigs, strathspeys, a slow air, and hornpipes. The songs are perfectly suited to Nodlaig’s slightly wistful voice, and the arrangements are very sympathetic to the mix of instruments. Everything is faultlessly performed – these three musicians are very together. All three are new to me and so I know nothing of their backgrounds or influences, but based on the evidence of this CD they must be wide and varied. Highly recommended. Danny Saunders |
