johnkerr wrote: "Flute Players of Roscommon" This is a compliation album that came out several years ago, sort of a localized WFO. It has tracks from Patsy Hanly, Tommy Guihen, Catherine McEvoy, John Kelly, John Carlos, Pat Finn, John Wynne, Brian Duke, John P. Carty, Frank Jordan, Patsy McNamara and Bernard Flaherty.
After participating on WFO1, John thought the WFO concept was a good idea for a CD fundraiser towards providing flutes to needy players in the Roscommon area . Fintan Vallely refers to the WFO project in the liner notes. John has encouraged me to do a similar project on a county by county basis. I had planned to invite some of those same Roscommon players for WFO2 or 3, but thought they deserved a bit of a break from my begging, seeing as how they so already recently contributed to that cause. Right now, each WFO covers larger regions, but there is usually a little pocket of players from a different area each time. Some Sligo players, than some Clare players, then Belfast, etc. I hope that John and Maureen are able to continue with a 2nd volume. Also, if they re-press the 1st disc, I hope they fix that audio scrape after track 12. I'd even pay to fix the master.

I've looked for this -- can you give me any more info, record label, release date or anything? WF Bach's music is pretty hard to find considering what an accomplished composer he was. He basically raised and trained some of the younger Bach children.

I'm not a big solo fan either, so it's tough to make a list. All the following, however, are the ones I seem/seemed to have been willing to listen to a lot (for various reasons) over the last few years:

Marcas O Murchu: O Bheal go Bheal
Matt Molloy: Matt Molloy
The Mountain Road: Music of South Sligo (lots and lots of flute on there, so I figure it counts)
Paul Smyth: Up & Away
Colm O Donnell: Farewell to Evening Dances
John Skelton & Kieran O'Hare: Double Barrelled
John Wynne: With Every Breath
Laurence Nugent: Traditional Irish Music on Flute and Tinwhistle
Seamus Tansey: King of the Concert Flute
Turlach Boylan: Shame the Devil
The Early Recordings of John McKenna (in smallish doses :-))

I need to get Conal O Grada and Paul McGrattan's; I'm shamefully behind there. Ooh! And more Harry, too!

What's this one? I've not heard of it. Old (pre-d flute album) or new (post-In Good Company)?

Grianan was a group of players around Ennis who made an album that was released eventually years ago as The Maid of Erin. PJ King Kevin Crawford and Siobhan Peoples wrote all the tunes on it.

King, Crawford and Peoples "wrote all the tunes " on "Maid Of Erin" ?
I can see 11 that they didn't.
