He also appreciates the development in his playing over the years: 'I think my playing has gotten better with age. There's more fun and energy in my fiddling. I also have these excellent students, and working and playing with them has improved my techniques and made me examine more closely the structure of a tune and the relationship between bowing and phrasing.'  \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eEarle Hitchner says of the playing: 'Brian brings to his music an enviable equilibrium of style, substance, taste, imagination and deference to the past.' \\r\u003cbr\u003eThis deference to the past is also reflected in the title of the album, a reference to both the importance of the source of the music and also the style of playing which originated, of course, in Co. Sligo and was brought across the Atlantic by such musical greats as Michael Coleman and James Morrison.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe album includes a large selection of tunes as well as a slow air and two songs, sung by Dan Milner and Niamh Parsons respectively. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBrian is accompanied on the album by Brendan Dolan, Joanie Madden, Billy McComiskey, Felix Dolan, John Nolan, Eamon O'Leary, Heather Martin Bixler, Gabe Donohue and Brad Albetta.\u003cp\u003eReels: Trim The Velvet; Lord Gordon's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJigs: Keys To The Convent; The Knockawhinna; Teviot Bridge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHornpipes: Tailor's Twist; Galway Bay; O'Kelly's Fancy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong: Matt Hyland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReels: John McGrath's; Dave Collins'; Larry Redican's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaltz Set: Veleta Waltz; Oslo Waltz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReels: Jackson's No. 1; Jackson's No. 2; The White Leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlow Air: The Wounded Hussar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReels: The Peeler's Jacket; Lucy Campbell; The Humour Of Westport - Billy Conway\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJigs: Killimor; Pat McKennas's; Father Hanley's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO'Carolan composition: Madam Maxwell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJigs: O'Mahony's Frolics; Condon's Frolis; Swans Amoung The Rushes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong: Highland Mary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHornpipes: The Eclipse; The Sunshine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReels: Bonnie Kate; Jenny's Chickens; The Manson's Apron; Peter Street\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55507275153793,"sku":"312435","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51dZ1V-YQnL._SL1500.jpg?v=1775590126","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/312435","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
