about

This CD is a new venture for us, it features no Donegal fiddle players, though there are some tunes featured here, which are very popular in the repertoires of many of Donegal’s fiddle players. The music presented here is an exceptional selection of recordings of great sound quality from more than 70 years ago. We are delighted to be given the opportunity to make them available to you.

The recordings on this album were made in the years from 1948 into the early 1950’s, with the bulk of recordings being made in 1949, by a recording engineer called Bill Stapleton (1921 – 1983), in the studios of the Irish Recording Company.

Featuring Various Artists : Denis Murphy, Patrick and Sean O'Sullivan, Aggie Whyte, Joe Milton, John Kelly and Felix Doran, Tommie Potts, Patrick Clarke, Sean Maguire, Sean McLaughlin, Matt Muldoon, Paddy Killoran, Eileen Lane.
