Editorial Reviews

In his long-awaited, stunning solo debut, premier Irish-American fiddler Brian Conway performs with a skill, grace, and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own. Well known in the New York Irish/Celtic community, Conway has won numerous fiddling competitions, and has been called one of the best fiddlers of his generation. Nothing is missed in Brian Conway's Sligo style of fiddling. From hop jigs to hornpipes, and highlands to slow airs, Conway preserves and passes along the best of the past while melding it with the talent and imagination of the present.

5.0 out of 5 stars like Tullamore Dew, November 16, 2005
By 
AJay McLaughlin "Peace Creeps" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Through the Gate (Audio CD)
I've been collecting Irish Traditional CDs since the beginning of the Summer and I just got this based on Earle Kitchner's review in the Irish Echo. It really doesn't get any better than this. The clarity, the tempos, the swing, the pure naturalness--pour me another. I also greatly appreciated the inclusion of Mick Maloney's informative essay on Sligo Fiddling.

This review is from: First Through the Gate (Audio CD)
Great tunes, great style, you would have to be a fool not to buy this album. This recording is really enjoyable to listen to because of the richness in the execution of the tunes. And talk about feeling! Wow.

This review is from: First Through the Gate (Audio CD)
This is a great CD, especially if you enjoy traditional Irish music. It is fast paced without being frantic. The liner notes are exceptional.
