  • Description

    Dave Sheridan hails from County Leitrim, now teaching music and religion in Dublin. This young flautist (and button accordionist on one track) gathered sixteen of his friends, including Seamie O'Dowd and Brian McDonagh of Dervish, fiddler Brian Rooney, and many more. The album presents a wide spectrum, from duets and triplets to a full session sound. Jigs and reels almost exclusively.

    Imagine a friendly hostelry somewhere in the Irish countryside with the proprietor able to play a tune or two. It is a guesthouse that is sometimes confusing, and not too cleansed. Actually it's a caravan, and if you can imagine the number of musicians who have stayed in it, it's kind of reminiscent of the amount of musicians on the album.

    Dave's cousin Conor Sheridan delivers the one and only song "Our Beautiful Tradition" about older musicians wondering if traditional music is going to last or going to die. We know the answer, don't we? A class album..
