Sleeve Notes
With a Gypsy pack of penny whistles, harmonicas, Celtic harps, fiddles stringed instruments of various tunings and magical musical keyboards we wove this Celtic patchwork. Most of these melodies were born on nights in the North Antrim countryside of long ago. There is a host of fine memories in these tunes. There are faces and laughter and soft loving daydreams that live on and on. The players are my friends and like all good friends we found a way to celebrate the life and our heritage that gave us this music.
Here's to Joy & Peace
