Conor McCarthy and Alph Duggan - Selection Box

(August 2000)

This is Conor's first solo album. He has selected a great variety of music which demonstrates his huge musical repertoire and very unique and independent style of accordion playing. The sensitive and tasteful accompaniment by Alph Duggan on guitar and vocals adds in no small way to overall sound and performance.

"a level of playing where phrasing and melody, rhythm and timing are so perfectly interwoven." (Anne Rynne)

"A solo album of flair and finesse. A great treat for those who know the real thing in Irish traditional music when they hear it." (Earle Hitchener, Irish Echo)
