about

Drawn from the roots of jazz and traditional Irish, there are eight new composiitons, mostly from Martin Dunlea, with one by Cormac himself and another by Máire Bhreatnach. "This CD is a pairing of two gifted musicians" - Steve Cooney

The music soars and bends with the combined talents of the players involved, just two instruments, an acoustic guitar and a bunch of low whistles - but what music they make! Breatnach and Dun/ea work hand in glove creating something personalized and special. The result is music blessed with a sense of fresh immediacy.
John O'Regan, 'Irish Music'.

I will tell you now that I know this CD will reside indefinitely on my list of best whistle albums. I've not heard a better whistle CD. Not one. Not ever. Dale Wisley, 'Chiff and Fipple'.

Aided by subtle guitar chording Cormac transforms all beautifully, returning to base without grating sensibility. Martin Dunlea's guitar is sensitive, interwoven accompaniment
Fintan Vallely, 'The Sunday Tribune'.

I was so moved by this recording when I heard it first as it represented modern Irish music to me played solely on the piano, the piano playing of Roger Doyle. Cormac Juan Breatnach
