An 18 track compilation of Folk Music from such eminent artists as Clannad, Planxty, Moving Hearts, Liam O'Flynn, Christy Moore, Davy Spillane, Stockton's Wing and Shaun Davey
'Masters Of Their Craft' is a compilation release on the Tara Music label containing eighteen tracks from some of the foremost artists and groups in the world of Irish music. Over the last thirty years Tara Music has been privileged to have recorded and worked with artists such as Clannad, Planxty, Shaun Davey, Stockton's Wing, Christy Moore, Moving Hearts and many more. This compilation portrays these artists performing at their best, with their music spanning genres from World Music to Contempory Irish and Folk.
Much of the music on this album has successfully pushed the musical boundaries of Irish traditional music to a more contempory level. Examples of this would be depicted by: Shaun Davey composing music for Irish Uilleann Pipes and Orchestra, and composing such tracks as "May We Never Have To Say Goodbye" for such high profile occassions as The Special Olympics in Ireland in 2003 - Andy Irvine for the introduction and integration of Bulgarian dance tunes into Planxty's repertoire - or the fusion of Irish and Spanish pipes music with Liam O'Flynn and Carlos Núñez, with a more contemporary aspect being contributed on the track "An Droichead" (The Bridge) by special guest Mark Knopfler - such examples are many.
