The Music Of What Happened

More than 20 years after she first toured Europe with Planxty, Nollaig Casey has finally found time to record this long-overdue solo debut. And a major treat it is, too. More than that, it’ll be a revelation for those who were unaware that in addition to being a brilliant fiddler and tunewriter, Casey is also a lovely singer. Joining her on the CD are her husband and longtime musical partner Arty McGlynn (who co-produced the album with Casey) as well as Sharon Shannon, keyboard player Rod McVey, percussionist Liam Bradley and Casey’s sister Mairead, who plays a fiddle duet with her on a jolly set of reels.
