  • Description

    Long awaited solo album from this acclaimed performer.

    Despite having played on around 250 albums in bands (The Arizona Smoke Revue, The Joyce Gang, The Brighton Taverners), duos (with Phil Beer, Mick Ryan, Maggie Boyle) and as a session musician, this is only Paul Downes' 5th solo album. Here is the mix of traditional, contemporary and instrumental material that you would expect from his live performances.

    With support from
    Phil Beer - violin, mandolin, acoustic bass
    Maggie Boyle - flute, whistle, bodhran
    Issy Emeney - melodeon
    Keith Kendrick - concertina
    Jackie Oates - violin
    Gill Redmond - cello
