TOMMY PEOPLES
AN EXCITING SESSION WITH ONE OF IRELAND'S
LEADING TRADITIONAL FIDDLERS
Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, 1976, CL 13
Tommy Peoples (1948-2018) was one of the most respected musicians in Ireland and abroad for his style, his quality of playing and his love for Irish music. All his LP albums have been reissued on CD except for this one that was his first LP recorded in public between October 1974 and January 1976 in Dublin. He was joined on some tracks by the discret guitar player Finian de Brun.
This album is really exciting and we can fully appreciate his style mixing some Donegal fiddling with a personal approach to Irish music.
Another LP (reissued on CD) he made with Matt Molloy and Paul Brady was so outstanding that it is still influential with Irish music lovers in Ireland and beyond. For more information about his career you can see this site https://www.tommypeoples.ie/biography/
