In October 2009 I released my first CD of traditional Irish music, entitled 'Other Forms of Magic', in collaboration with talented accompanists Doug Murray (bouzouki) and Davey Mathias (guitar):

 Cover

Due to their travel constraints, as well as the fact that I was recording it at home in my spare time, it took almost a year to complete.  I definitely learned a lot in the process!

Here is a track listing:

  1. The Crooked Road - Palmer's Gate - Mrs Crehan's (reels)
  2. The Pure Drop - Ballydesmond - Gan Ainm (polkas)
  3. Si Bheag, Si Mhor (air/waltz)
  4. Lad O Byrne's - The Maple Leaf - McGettrick's (reels)
  5. Momma Trauma - Bumper Squire Jones (jig/march)
  6. Rath Amhain - Amy's - Micky Callaghan's (slides)
  7. Dark Loch Na Gar (air)
  8. The Wandering Minstrel - Martin Hardiman's (jigs)
  9. Gan Ainm - Ask My Father - Sean Sa Cheo (fling/single reel/reel)
  10. Dublin Airport - Vincent Campbell's - Sonny's (waltz/mazurkas)
  11. The Humours Of Ballyloughlin (jig)
  12. An tSean Bhean Bhocht - The Tailor's Twist (hornpipes)
