Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too.

Good Enough Music For Them Who Love It
by Nicolas Brown
supported by 7 fans who also own “The Jolly Old Man/The Kilkenny (Jigs)”
Nick's settings and playing of these old tunes on his instrument are just superb. When I first saw his track list I was shocked, He had found more tracks from Oscar and Malvina than I had in years of searching. This album remains a musical and academic delight!
