I Met This Young Lad In Philladelphia At The Irish Festival A Couple Of Year's Ago At Lunch I Met Him Devouring A Big Plate Of Baked Beans. Said High Then Left For The Stage Then Astounded Everyone With His Amazing Fiddling Brilliant Absolutely Amazing.
" In Recent Years Fiddle Player Dezi Donnelly Has Made A Name For Himself As One Of The Brilliant Musicians To Come Out Of The Manchester Irish Scene. His Aggressive Sean-McGuire-Tinged Fiddle Playing Has Been Featured On A Few Obscure Recordings On The German Label Magnetic Music--This Includes A Duet Recording With Flute Player Extraordinaire Michael McGoldrick Made After The Two Won The All-Ireland Duet Competition As Teenagers. Donnelly's Style Has Antecedents In The Family. His Uncle Was The Legendary Des Donnelly Also A Fiddle Player Of Uncommon Abilities Who Died Tragically Young In A Construction Site Accident. Interestingly This First Solo Album While Having Plenty Of Zest And Brilliance Shows A Dezi Donnelly Who Puts Finesse And Subtlety Over Histrionics. Which Is Fortunate Because Donnelly Has A Great Touch And Sense For Variation. This Is A Terrific Fiddle Recording Which I Would Recommend To Anyone Who Is Interested In Irish Fiddle Playing. In My Mind It Ranks Up There With Paddy Glackin's Fabled First LP. " From Celtic Grooves Site And The Album Info. read less
