| The
Brass Fiddle Traditional Music from Donegal Vincent Campbell, Con Cassidy, James Byrne and Francie Byrne |
 |
This record draws attention to the hitherto neglected fiddle traditions of southwest Donegal, where many of the most sophisticated players in Ireland live. Four of the area’s best fiddlers give an insight into their local traditions, playing tunes which to a large extent have not been heard outside Donegal. |
