Lovely traditional Irish piping here. Kevin's wife Lorraine Hickey joins him on fiddle for three tracks, and Kevin has honoured his revered grandfather Leo by including 4 archival tracks. His late uncle, Liam, a gifted fiddler, also appears on two tracks playing haunting slow airs. Tune listing

Five Generations of Irish Pipers and Pipemakers

With this fine recording, Kevin Rowsome assumes his rightful place in the long line of Rowsome pipers and pipemakers. He displays considerable talents on three sets, a concert set made by his grandfather Leo, a C# set made by his great grandfather William and a lovely C set probably made by the famous 19th century maker Harrington.
