Fidil
"...a masterclass in the marriage of tradition and musical exploration, and a milestone in traditional music. "
Siobhan Long, Irish Times
"A trio of undeniable range, vision, and chops. Ciaran O Maonaigh, Aidan O'Donnell, and Damien McGeehan are recalibrating how the sound of the fiddle is received and perceived in Irish traditional music, and are charting new territory for the instrument in the process. This is expansion through reduction, compelling the listener to ponder a rich, rewarding sonic palette produced by three fiddles and nothing else. Enchantment inevitably follows. "
Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo 2010
