5.0 out of 5 stars Congratulations for your twins and new CD!, January 21, 2000

This review is from: Two for Two (Audio CD)

There is room in my CD collection for both Joannie Madden and Laurence Nugent. Male and female styles on the same instrument present an entertaining contrast. Laurence is also going about his songs in small group, chamber style with accoustic instruments. When I am in an "unplugged" mood, this is an excellent CD to enjoy. My favorites are "Slow Air : Cape Clear" when I am hiking mountain tops with my headphones and "McDermott's/ the Home Ruler" when I have my dumbek handy to play along. Excellent "synchopation" arrangements, excellent guitar (from Ged Foley), dumbek and bodhran (from Jackie Moran) back up. I am eagerly waiting for Laurence's next CD, twin laddies or no.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music as genuine as the person, November 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Two for Two (Audio CD)

I met Larry this summer and took a week long class tin whistle from him at the Swanannoa Gathering, Asheville, NC. A very talented guy. This CD is in my humble opinion his best. The music is both soulful and uplifting. Larry is also as likeable as his music.

The cover photo could have been a better choice. Worth every penny I paid for the CD. Hope to see more out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wild and wonderful whistling - amazing stuff!, January 5, 2000

I play the whistle and flute with a group in upstate NY and never have I heard whistle playing like this! Larry's playing is masterful, his variations are brilliant and his energy is overflowing. The arrangements are excellent as well, much better than the cheesy 'new age' stuff on Joannie Madden's CDs. Buy this!
