Newly Released today!
Denis Liddy and Elvie Miller partner for an emotional telling of The Wild Geese
Hello lovers of traditional Irish airs, welcome to The Irish Airs Project. This is your host, Kell Chole. In every episode, we feature a master airs player playing a favorite air or lament.
We found Denis and Elvie at home in Clare, where they shared the musical storytelling of The Wild Geese. As Denis plays on fiddle, Elvie answers on piano. Rather than a duet, it is more a musical conversation, creating beauty and contrast, bringing the story to life.
