Thanks, Rick.
What I found curious was the statement on the Ebay site in the descripition:
"synonymous with Clannad, Enya and other Irish traditional musicians"
I wasn't aware that Clannad or Enya had pipers in their CDs - some in the background, perhaps, but not that they're known for piping.
And you think it might be Finbar Furey? I'd have thought he would have had his name attached to the production, somehow - and just 13 tracks, all single tunes - that's a bit different, too.
Ah, well, it was the curiousity that posed the question - thanks for the research!
Stay tuned,
Brian

ronan browne was on a similar record aimed at the tourist market called 'celtic moods' - it's a bit tough going listening to so many slow tunes (some of which I don't think are in the same tradition as the slow airs on The Wynd You know) but the playing is flawless - you can get it cheap at woolworths here in the Uk

I just looked and of course "the dark island" isn't listed...
EDIT: knock yourself out..

Ronan Le Bars is an excellent uilleann piper from Brittany. He recorded a solo project with Nicolas Quemener (formerly of KORNOG) called "Bimis ag Ol" that's pretty nice.Mypipes wrote:These are some great to satify the need for slow ...does anyone know other cds containing the Dark Island??? or were this cd can be purchased?
here's a blurb on it
http://www.loz-production.com/ronan_lebars/index.htm
He did put "The Dark Island" on it. He also includes a few unusual tunes (for pipers); his technique is formidable.
For Brendan Ring if you should read this: Do you know this guy? His reeds seem to be phenomenally good and I just wondered if you had anything to do with it.

I also listened to the clip of Dark Island at loz-production, and it does sound very good. I tried to buy it but had to send an email for registering. So, I am waiting to hear from them. It did not seem to me to require that much money for shipping to US... but don't know French.
Maybe D'Arcy can get some in his shop?
