ComhaltasLive #241 - 3: Bronwyn De Paor on Fiddle
A ComhaltasLive favourite from Ennis, Co. Clare, Bronwyn Power here plays a hornpipe followed by a lovely interpretation of “The New Road” reel. Our tutorial this week is a setting of this reel as played in New York around 1959/60 by Andy Mc Gann, Paddy O’Brien, Larry Redigan and others.
