Fiddle Sticks: Irish Traditional Music from Donegal

by Fiddlesticks

Overview

These spare jigs and reels have the feeling of music played in an Irish hall rather than a pub: they are somewhat staid, but lovely nonetheless. The mix of solo and group pieces is pleasing, but there seems to be a more academic approach to the recording, making it a bit too restrained. ~ Tim Sheridan
