Renowned fiddle player Frankie Gavin, who co-founded the highly influential supergroup Dé Danann, joins forces with the father-and-son duo of Malachy Bourke (fiddle) and Brian Bourke (bodhrán) to explore the spry and athletic repertoire of early twentieth-century Sligo-American fiddler, Paddy Killoran (1904-1965). The master’s return: A tribute to Paddy Killoran features their joyous, quicksilver versions of the tunes that Killoran played – tunes popularised through 78rpm recordings made in New York after the First World War.
