Kieran O’Hare and John Skelton: New Irish flute CD: ‘Two-Tone’

Mill Pond Music Studio was thrilled to host the recording of this new Irish flute duet project by two of the finest practitioners of that art on either side of ‘the pond’.  This inspired collection of tunes was recorded essentially live, the two players facing each other in the ‘Live Room’, no baffles, a couple of Telefunken tube mics, feet tapping on the maple floor, no digital editing or ‘punching-in’.  Pretty amazing!

Most of the tracks feature the flutes or whistles unaccompanied, although I was very excited to have John Blake from Dublin show up to play guitar and piano on some.  John has long been my favorite DADGAD guitarist- delicate, subtle, nimble, interesting and a real studio pro.  This project is a major contribution to the body of traditional Irish music.

Thanks, Kieran, for bringing this my way and I look forward to some tunes together soon!
