Reed Only - Brian McNamara & Tim Collins

The beautiful reedy sound of the uilleann pipes and concertina, complimented by the fine accompaniment of Alec Finn, Mick Conneely, Michael Rooney and Pádraic O'Reilly, creates a magical tapestry of musical textures which soars effortlessly into heights of artistry where virtuosity is always balanced by supreme tastefulness.  This is a magnificent album, simultaneously timeless and yet very much of its time.

Is rud annamh go maith sa cheol traidisiúnta an cónascadh úd idir consairtín agus píb uilleann ach nuair is ceoltóirí den chéad scoth atá i gceist, amhail Tim Collins agus Brian McNamara, tá gach dealramh ar an scéal gur ceol den chéad scoth a bheidh ann, mar atá. 

The pairing of uilleann pipes and concertina is quite unusual in traditional Irish music; however with two musicians of the calibre of Tim Collins and Brian McNamara the pairing is likely to produce some superb music, as indeed it does.
