 Dympna O' Sullivan
Launched on 8th Nov. 2007 at the Ennis November Trad Fest,
Dympna's first release is an album of the most beautiful ,rhythmic concertina music.She is probably one of the most self-deprecating musicians I have ever met and the limelight sits heavily on her shoulders
but she plays with the most perfect assurance and her music is indeed a treasure.
Definitely, Mrs. Crotty's re-incarnation.

 Bobby Casey
November 2007 release of the fiddling of West Clare legend, Bobby Casey.
All the tracks on this album were recorded by Reg Hall and Bill Leader in Camden Town,London in 1966,1967 and 1971.
Bobby played the London pub scene with such musical luminaries as East Galway fiddler,Martin Byrnes,fellow Clare musicians,Tommy McCarthy ,Willie Clancy and Paddy Breen.
In the liner notes,Reg Hall describes Bobby's"lonesome fiddling" as "reeking of rural Ireland".This music gave solace to many the Irish immigrant who settled in north London at that time and indeed ensured the continued good health of traditional Irish music into the future.

Paddy died in 1992 but he left a beautiful musical legacy and some of the great concertina players of today feel privileged to have been his students. These include the likes of Dympna O' Sullivan, Yvonne Griffin,Gearóid ó hAllmhurain and Noel Hill.
Some very revealing interviews are included and the whole cd portrays him as a man of great culture,understanding and empathy with musicians,young and old.
