Sean O�Driscoll - So There You Go

'So There You Go' is the exciting new tenor banjo album from Cork's Se�n O'Driscoll. Featuring many of his wonderful compositions, the banjo is shown in a variety of different musical combinations and styles.From the jolly honky-tonk feel of the double tracked banjo on the opening polkas, to the powerful banjo and bouzouki air of the 'Dear Irish Boy', this is a unique and beautiful recording. Although the banjo is up front and centre at all times, there are duets with Larry Egan, his good friend from The Kitchen Recordings on accordion; with The Admiral Dave Hennessy on melodeon; and Patrick Egan on concertina.The backup also spans a spectrum of styles. There are two very different piano approaches from Ciar�n Coughlin and Maurice Crumb, and contrasting guitar backups from Donncha Moynihan and Johnny Neville. Se�n also contributes much of his own distinctive bouzouki backing.On the last track of the album, perhaps to remind us that he is a man of diverse musical talents and tastes, Se�n switches to accordion for a lovely waltz of his own composition. Accompanied by John Daly on fiddle, Wilcil McDowell on piano and piano accordion, Lendrum's Waltz is a deceptively simple gem that has already inspired some dancing in the kitchen.
