Lunasa: You Have to Dig These Guys!
I have two questions: (As of now)
1) Do they ever tour in the U.S., If so where?
2) What is the best album they have cut in your opinion.

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

I really like the Kinnity Sessions, but Otherworld was the first of theirs I ever bought and I have a particular fondness for it.

BTW, I saw them in Cleveland in April in a small venue and they were wonderful.

They do tour the U.S. (see above link). Last year at the Florida Tionol, Cillian Vallely was one of our piping instructors. He is a mighty piper/whistler, and the experience of watching him play, makes listening to him all that much more pleasurable.
Another recording you may wish to check out is: Callan Bridge, which he recorded with his brother Niall who plays concertina and composed a good number of the tunes on that disc. Great tuneage, I highly recommend it.

- Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

Just went to their site and saw that they will be in St. Louis in March 2005.
I'll be there. I am also going to contact our new entainment center here and see if they can be convinced to play here between shows. That would be great.

Gravediggers is on my list, as is The Brazen Head, Kilmainham Gaol, National Museum, the Book of Kells, St John Gogarty's and a million other places.
