We get calls all the
time about the uilleann
pipes - and we are now
delighted to carry this
recording, which has
been universally
praised in publications
in Ireland, England and
America. The
McNamara family ,
from Aughavas in the
south of County Leitrim,
carries on a tradition of
five generations of
uilleann piping. What
sets this recording
above anything else in
the entire field is the
extensive notes,
combined with the
authentic playing and
variety in
instrumentation. I really
can't recommend this
enough for folks who
want to learn from “the
real thing”. In addition
to the uillean pipes, the
primary instruments are
the flute, fiddle and
concertina...with a
touch of hammered
dulcimer here and
there!
"This album makes an
important statement
about the strength of our
tradition and the ability
of a talented family to
demonstrate that our
music can continue to
be refreshed and
renewed without having
to leave that tradition"
--- Charlie Lennon,
County Leitrim
