The Road to Nowhere/ The Letterfrack Lassies/ The Beara Boys
Carl always remembers travelling to Ballynahinch Castle with Máirtín O’Connor and he was composing tunes for the full journey. He would stop occasionally and say this must be the ‘Road to Nowhere’ – hence the title. The second reel is dedicated to the brilliant fiddle duo Yvonne and Liz Kane from Letterfrack. They are definitely the main exponents of the fantastic music composed by Paddy Fahey from Kilconnell.They also played fiddle with him at the Gradam award when Paddy became the Composer of the Year. The third reel relates to the Dwyer brothers from the Beara Peninsula – John, Finbarr, Richie and Michael. The brothers have composed incredible compositions over many years in many different styles as well as performing the tunes throughout the country. They also spent some time playing their music in London.
