Hello! This page is part of an opinionated overview of Celtic and British folk music, with record reviews by me, Joe Sixpack... This is not meant to be taken as a "definitive" resource, but rather as a record of some of the music which has caught my interest. I am always looking for more good music to explore, so your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Niall & Cillian Vallely "Callan Bridge" (Compass, 2002)
Man, talk about your Irish music dynasties! Brothers Niall & Cillian Vallely -- who perform in the bands Nomos and Lunasa, respectively -- dish up a zingy set of contertina and pipe duets, with John Doyle (of Solas) pitching in on guitar and bouzouki. It's a nice solid set, enjoyable even for a crabby old feller like me who doesn't normally care much for jigs and reels. Guess these guys must have that special little magical something... Check it out!
