the first sunday afternoon of the WIllie week always has a big launch of a load of CDs and books. And free wine.

Never mind. I came home with 5 Cds and tw obooks, the McEvoy one is lovely, beautiful flute/fiddle duet with Felix Dolan vamping along. Great selection of tunes too.

Oooh, oooh, me, me! I had heard she was working on a new one, and glad it’s sooner rather than later.

Well, the Cd was recorded in August 2001. Maybe she’s working on yet another one.

Or maybe she was referring to finally releasing this one. I wonder why it took so long to put this one out, then.

Here are some quotes from a thread last October.

Catherine and her brother John McEvoy have recorded a duet flute-fiddle CD that should be coming out sometime next year…this will tide me over 'til then.

I’ve been waiting for that Catherine and John McEvoy CD for a while myself, Brad. When I saw Catherine at Willie Week 2001, she told me that Felix Dolan was coming over later that summer to go into the studio with them. Then when I saw her next, at Gaelic Roots 2002, she told me that they’d recorded the CD and all that was left to do was the sleeve notes, packaging, etc. So I was hoping then that it wouldn’t be long. But when I saw Catherine again this past August at the Feakle Festival, she told me that there hadn’t been any progress beyond where things were the previous summer. I told her to get the lead out (well, not in so many words :->), as we are all waiting for it. Hopefully she heard my plea!

I’d heard that she and John were less than happy with a few of the tracks, or maybe it was something with the recording quality, and that they had to go back to the studio to re-do a few things; I thought that’s what was holding things up. But whatever…it’ll be worth the wait, however long it takes!

Cheers,
Aaron
