Drumshanbows CD

This newly released fiddle duet CD by Rónán Regan and Irene Guckian, is, true to it's name, centred around the musical accent and repertoire of Leitrim's lyrical heritage.

The CD is a fiddle duet in the Leitrim Style, comprising of Irene Guckian (fiddle) and Rónán Regan (fiddle) with guests including Paddy Ryan (fiddle), Mick Blake (piano), Ciaran Curran (bouzouki) and Tommy Murry (Recitation).  It's a CD that is true to the musical accent of Leitrim and it's surrounds and is very much influenced by Rónán and Irene's musical mentors and friends Ben Lennon, Jim Connolly, Paddy Ryan and Fr. John Quinn.
