Kevin Burke released this solo debut album while he was still a member of the Bothy Band.

When the Bothies split up for good the following year, the shock of the blow was lessened by the knowledge that former members of the band would still make music like this.

Burke's unassailable technique and musicality allowed him to introduce modern arrangements and recording techniques to the conservative Irish fiddle world with barely a murmur of protest.

Burke's fiddling on If The Cap Fits continues to inspire musicians - indeed, his versions of dance tunes have become standards in Irish sessions around the world.
