Dennis Gormley just notified me that June Ni Chormaic (flute) and Michael Rooney (harp, concertina) have released a CD called Draiocht.
Along with many of their other fans, I've been hoping for a recording from them and I'm thrilled about this news. I haven't heard it yet other than the sample tracks on their website, but I'm sure it's fantastic. Mostly well-known tunes, which is a little disappointing, but I'm sure they put fresh life into them.
Info is available at:

If you've never heard June's brilliant flute playing, you're in for a treat.
Note added subsequently: It appears that the CD is available only from June and Michael directly, and apparently they intended it to be more of a demo CD than a commercial release (recorded in a home studio). Still definitely worth getting, though, and maybe the response to this CD will convince them to do another one.
BIG News: New CD from June Ni Chormaic and Micheal Rooney!
