No need to ask why the awesome Irish quartet of Dónal Lunny, Liam O’Flynn, Andy Irvine and Paddy Glackin didn’t bother coming up with some catchy collective moniker: each of their names alone – three Planxty co-founders and two Bothy Band originals – never mind all together, guarantee a performance of sublimely seasoned class. Even decades on from their initial seismic impact, all four remain standard-bearers in their field, both for their deep-dyed traditional mastery and their boundless receptivity to fresh ideas.
Also setting the bar prodigiously high, Scottish bagpipe legend Fred Morrison performs material from his dazzling 2010 album Outlands, on which he stakes out common ground between his family’s South Uist piping style and US bluegrass. As on the recording, he explores this vibrantly fertile territory with Americana luminaries Ron Block (Alison Krauss & Union Station) and Tim O’Brien, as well as regular cohorts Matheu Watson and Martin O’Neill.
