great duet recordings

[Cayden]

Shame on you all for not mentioning PJ Crotty and James Cullinan's Happy to Meet

There is any amount of single tracks and archal stuff floating about, JC Talty and Michael Murphy on the Tulla ceiliband's 40 th anniversary album, There are tracks of Paddy Killoran with his band, some duets of him and fluteplayer mick flynn. there is a great collection of acetate discs in Cecil Sharp house in London which has duets of Michael Gorman and another fluteplayer named Mick Flynn.
There's Siobhan Peoples and Kevin crawford, Brid DOnoghue with various fiddlers, including Michael Kelleher and Joe Rynne, Bernadette McCarthy all great stuff if you can find it (or get to hear them), I recently sat in with Geraldine Cotter and Peter O Loughlin playing fiddles with Eamonn Cotter on flute, there are tapes of Bobby Casey and Paddy Breen, Casey and Sherlock (not that ideal a combination by the way), PJ Crotty and teen-aged Kevin Burke, Paddy Donohue and Vincent Griffin. Any amount of it out there.
