Anyone have some additional details?

the blarneystar website infers that David Power’s CD is being released?? Any info on the offical release??? When and how to buy???

I know that the cd is in production and that the CD has prompted Kudos from major players in the trad world. It could be out by the Blarney Star gig as either privately or on a label. I know he has some promising offers from a label(S) ..not certain but either way his performance live or on cd is masterful piping.
