Grace Bay [Audio CD] Tommy McCarthy & Louise Costello

Description

‘Grace Bay’ is the first and long overdue recording from this couple who need no introduction to lovers of Irish music, on both sides of the Atlantic . Though fine soloists in their own right, Tommy & Louise display an intuitively sympathetic approach to duet playing, surely the hallmark of good players. They produce in ‘Grace Bay’ , a perfect blend of the regional styles of West Clare & North Galway. Tommy & Louise met in 1986, while both were playing music on the Boston trad scene & In 1992 they got married on Inishbofin Island . After travelling around the world for a year or so, they returned to Boston & continued to play in bars around town, until they decided to open their own pub, where they could play music whenever they liked. In 1996, they founded the now iconic Irish Pub, known as The Burren.
