“Pride of The West” is a new album to be released on the Clo-Iar Chonnachta label
It’s a 13 track, vibrant,dynamic CD, with fiddler John McEvoy and flute player John Wynne brewing a flute/fiddle storm. The musicians are ably supported on the cd by the talents of Arty McGlynn on guitars and Paddy McEvoy on piano.
The tunes played are mainly from the Sligo/Roscommon repertoire, with unusual local versions of tunes, along with a couple of new compositions thrown into the mix.
Both players have strong Co.Roscommon roots. They both have a huge interest in the flute/fiddle playing of that region. They are both experienced musicians with previous extensive recording and touring careers.
These two muscians have been performing together during the earlier months of 2007 to good reaction. There are a number of CD launches and concert appearances lined up for the rest of 2007, including the official CD launch in Spells Pub and Folk Club, Ballaghadereen, Co.Roscommon, Friday 15th June .
