Matt Cranitch - First coming to prominence in the 60's as a member of Cork based trio Na Filí, Matt Cranitch has been involved in many groups of different hues, from the aforementioned, with whom he made many several albums, outfits like The Lee Valley String Band and Any Old Time with whom he has made three fine albums. He has also recorded extensively as a solo artist with releases like Eistigh Seal and Take A Bow to his credit in addition to instructional books on fiddle playing.
Donal Murphy - Though still a very young man, Donal Murphy has been involved in Irish music for many years. Since first coming to prominence as a member of Four Men And A Dog in 1990, he has traveled widely on his mission to save Irish music, to places as far apart as Barcelona, Finland and Listowel. His rhythmic playing is the perfect foil for Matt Cranitch's fiddle style and his music has been described as having "a rare twinkle in its eye".
Tommy O' Sullivan - Now known for unfathomable reasons as 'The Jarvey' Tommy O' Sullivan cut his musical teeth playing outfits in the UK and continental Europe. While there he traveled widely with bands such as Ashplant and is almost a household word in Denmark. He has a great ear for a good song, as is evidenced by his choice of material for Sliabh Notes, and wishes it to be known that he is working hard on perfecting a fourth chord. His vocal style is sure to earn many accolades.
This album is about 1/2 bluegrass ;)
