Pipes and harp, some unaccompanied singing.

Joe and Antoinette McKenna play wonderfully both alone and together. The album is full of good tunes and a few airs, and there isn't a dull spot. The tunes really shine when there aren't too many instruments or too much production to occlude the character of the music, and on this album there isn't any of that. There is some shining and skillful regulator work. I believe Joe McKenna is also a maker of pipes, although I don't know if he was when he made this album, or not. McKenna was also a pupil of the late Leo Rowsome and needless to say, these two know their stuff. You will enjoy it.
