Kevin James I stumbled across Skipper's Alley by pure chance, and I haven't been able to stop listening. It's amazing. Favorite track: The Flowers of Red Hill.

gocachin Saw them at Faile Traidphicnic and loved the fresh, young way they approach traditional music. Favorite track: Conor Tully's.

FreeBorne Family Another fantastic release from Dublin. Wow, what an all around great group. Deadly craftsmanship in all ways. Between these folk and Lankum (Lynched), our family is seriously considering the move to Dublin.

Favorite track: William and John.

Cary Christian Anyone that likes traditional Irish folk should not go past this album. Favorite track: Boys, From Home.

"B"
by Cormac Begley

supported by 31 fans who also own “Skipper's Alley”

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
