Three of the finest fiddlers in the Celtic world - Kevin Burke, Johnny Cunningham and Christian Lemaitre come together on their first studio recording. They are joined by Ged Foley on guitar, Christine Harrington on cello, and Eric Fontana on acoustic bass guitar.

Burke is a world renowned Irish fiddle master, playing the beautifully fluid, highly ornamented style of County Sligo * his formidable career history includes The Bothy Band, Patrick Street, and Open House.

Johnny Cunningham is a founding member of legendary Scottish group Silly Wizard, later playing in Relativity and Nightnoise. His dazzling style is dynamic and technically superb, from emotive and eloquent airs to lightning fast reels.

Lemaitre represents the exotic, richly dark cadences of the Breton tradition. He has toured and recorded with the outstanding Breton groups Kornog, which included Soig Siberil on guitar, and Pennou Skoulin.
