Just listed in the "Top Ten Picks" of Irish Traditional Music recordings of 2003. ["Ceol" column, copyright, Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo newspaper, NY (January 20, 2004)]
Marty Fahey: born and raised in Chicago. Marty credits piano players Eleanor Kane Neary, Mary Mc Donaugh and Nancy Harling for his early tutelage on the piano as well as box players Paddy Gavin (brother of Kathleen) and Paddy O'Brien for his inspiration and aspirations on the box.
This cd is Marty's second full length recording, the first of which was with the well-known Chicago fiddler, Liz Carroll (A Friend Indeed, Shanachie Records) in 1977.
Besides playing music (with Brendan, with The Broken Pledge Ceili Band and other good friends) and helping to raise his family, Marty works as the Creative Director for a National Stone and Tile company.
Brendan Bulger: born and raised in Boston. Brendan specifically credits fiddlers Seamus Connolly and Larry Reynolds for his musical upbringing.(And his brother Chris for dissuading him from playing the box (!) in favor of the fiddle.)
This is also Brendan's second full-length recording, having released his own self-titled solo album two years ago.
Brendan now lives in Chicago and is studying violin-making while playing music (with Marty, with The Broken Pledge Ceili Band, the Sprigs and others) and teaching fiddle lessons as well.
Kathleen Gavin: born in Mayo and raised in Dublin. Kathleen
comes from a well-known musical family in Balbriggan (north of Dublin)and grew up with "music at the house" all the time.
Kathleen credits her father (the late Paddy Snr.), her brothers (Lar, Paddy and Michael) and other close musical
friends for her musical upbringing. She plays the piano and the fiddle.
Kathleen spends her time helping to raise her family and as a Board Member for various charitable and educational
organizations in Ireland.
Kathleen and Marty, who first met at the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil in 1974 (Listowel), have been friends ever since and both of them were thrilled to be able to collaborate on this project.
Marty and Brendan have played together quite regularly for the last five years and began to work on this project after collaborating on a couple of tracks for Brendan's cd two years ago.
