Mac Darra is sure to be the best fiddle player that is around at the moment, there are many good players but you wouldnt stop too long to listen to them, thats different here, I hope his cd’s are in the shops..

pretty much the way to play Irish music on the fiddle. Great stuff....
Have to say, he’s the best fiddler I’ve heard of today’s stock.
Second tune is Sporting Nell for those interested.
