5.0 out of 5 stars
An Irish traditional classic, January 4, 2008
This review is from: Up & Away (Audio CD)
Up and Away comprises mostly flute music (all but two of the tracks have piano accompaniment by the great Charlie Lennon) but is a partial display of Frankie Gavin's talent as a multi-instrumentalist - fiddle, whistle and accordion, he also plays the piano and I wonder what else! Nowadays he is best known as one of the world's foremost Irish traditional fiddle players. As this CD is currently unavailable it is extremely rare just now and I felt lucky to obtain it in 2006 as I had worn out the vinyl LP copy I had bought back in 1984. A must for Irish music enthusiasts, hopefully it will be re-released fairly soon.

Is there anything he can't play?, February 25, 2005
This review is from: Up & Away (Audio CD)
According to the liner notes, Frankie Gavin even plays the accordion on this CD! His talent is truly awe-inspiring; I think he could make a kazoo sound symphonic. Mostly flute music, with fiddle and penny-whistle, Gavin's incredible skills are on fine display on this CD. I recommend this without reservation.

This review is from: Up & Away (Audio CD)
The previous review does not even mention that fact. I don't think the reviewer has listened very closely!
