Thanks for those kind words ytliek!

Your favourites are very interesting indeed. And very flattering for me! (Given that you've picked my own reels, and me playing the air as two out of the three.) And yeah, Dusty Miller's great, isn't it? I love the insistence of that tune - I could listen to it over and over and over again.

Just got mine!

I like how it starts with the creaky door and footsteps, Ben. It's illogical of me, but right away I knew that here was something to look forward to. I'm only halfway through; I'll finish the rest tomorrow.

Gregorio bought you a truffle? That's waaay past bromance, my friend...

And, in keeping with the rest of the CD, that's a real door there No faked effect, or stock sound. In fact, it's the actual door of the abandoned Italian farmhouse we used for a recording studio.

I'll look forward to hearing what you think.

Deb has always said that Greg and I are in love, and she's jealous.

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather flay you in private. Wouldn't want to disturb the peace with the mess and screams and all.

But all joking aside, I very much liked the album. Good job.

I like it. There is a lot going on so definitely something to listen to 'properly', of which I haven't done enough yet. If not listening properly the ghostly jig has distinct earworm potential.

Thanks David. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've listened to it 'properly'. But very happy that you like it so far.

BTW, you want to watch that ghost jig - it does keep coming after you if you're not careful!

Update folks! Next Friday 27th July 4pm in Drumshanbo during the Joe Mooney week Greg and I will formally launch the CD. Then on Saturday 28th July at 9pm in The Cobblestone, Dublin. Hope to see some of you there!

CD now available from the pipers' club.

It's on the front page for the moment.
