“Sligo Made” (Loftus Music LM010) was recorded in County Sligo in the west of Ireland, an area steeped in traditional music. Kevin, a life long afficianado of Sligo music, asked some of his friends, all internationally acclaimed players and all residents of the Sligo area, to join with him in making this CD – Michael Holmes and Brian McDonagh from the renowned Irish band, Dervish; Steve Wickham of the Waterboys; multi instrumentalist, Seamie O’Dowd; fellow Patrick Street member, John Carty; piper Leonard Barry and bodhran player John Joe Kelly. The result is a glorious portrayal of the joy, intimacy and informality of traditional music at its best – a welcome addition to Sligo’s long musical history, and to the Loftus Music catalogue, “Sligo Made”.
