The Kane sisters in action...

Post by Azalin »

... musically of course. I recorded this great session at the Catskills festival, the whole session was jaw dropping and I think it's the best recording I ever made. I was just listening to this clip of the Kane sisters playing some Fahy tunes and it's simply mesmerizing. I'm sure most of you will agree with me, I'm usually not a big fan of that I can 'power fiddling' but heck you gotta be deaf not to have your blood pressure rise listening to this.

* this clip is 7.64MB, high speed certainly required...

Oh, this is great, Az! The A part of that second tune makes me think of a twisty "Poor Scholar." Beautiful stuff, and great recording! Is that Joanie Madden in the background early on? :lol: So supportive! ;-) ... Thanks again!

I saw them perform on Friday, and they were both amazing players and a whole lot of fun. Oh, and they mentioned that they'll be teaching at East Durham again next summer, and also at the Banjo Burke Festival this coming October.


Thanks for posting the excellent recording!

I just love listening to this clip for some reason, I think it's the switch to the lower tunes, these days the low tunes get my really excited :-) But I got another clip of Edel Fox and Tim Collins playing in duo, and it drives me crazy (in the good way!).
