Farewell to Ireland - CD

Randy Miller, fiddle, with James Prendergast, guitar, mandola, vocals


Enjoy the lively sound of Irish jigs, reels, and barndances performed by Randy Miller, a leading New England exponent of traditional Irish fiddling.

Randy's “New Hamptic” fiddling style (to coin a phrase!) combines elements of Irish ornamentation and bowing he was inspired to learn from listening to Tommy Peoples, Andy McGann, and especially Paddy Cronin.

James Prendergast on guitar and mandola joins Randy to provide beautifully haunting accompaniment. Jim, who was a studio musician in Nashville for many years, also lends his vocal talents by singing several ballads.

Recorded at Mill Pond Music, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, June 2011.
