ravel with Kate Danaher and Amy Lou MacCloud from the green hills of Ireland to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Kate brings her stories of Irish country life to the front porch of Amy Lou's mountain home, as they pass the jug, sing a few good old songs, and play a tune or two. Ireland's County Sligo-style fiddle meets Russell County Virginia's autoharp, guitar, banjo, and mountain dulcimer, and the result is a joyous celebration sparkling with harmony and wit. Look for Danaher and MacCloud’s new original recording, Bonnie Rose, on Winterthur Museum’s GardenFair 5th Anniversary CD, Playing in the Garden.

“For someone who grew up in the 60’s listening to the greatest storyteller (seanchai) of all time, Eamon Kelly on Irish radio, it is so heartening to discover someone who cares enough for this great art to perpetuate his memory.”

Audrey O’Connor-Mason
