Diversions
No slouch on the fiddle and banjo, Donegal’s Diver also plays guitar, bouzouki, bodhrán, bass, shaker and is a dab hand at writing new tunes, several of which feature on the album
This is a grand jolly debut CD. No slouch on the fiddle and banjo, Donegal’s Diver also plays guitar, bouzouki, bodhrán, bass, shaker and is a dab hand at writing new tunes, several of which feature on the album – notably ‘Hot Summer Hooley’, a bouncy tribute to the swing jazz style of Stephane Grappelli. A pair of Romanian horas and two Peter Ostroushko tracks add an international element to the mix, and Lisa Knapp sings a Northumbrian lullaby called ‘Bonnie At Morn’ as well as an interesting waltz-tempo version of the classic ‘The Blacksmith’.
