Magical! We just got home from seeing Kevin Burke and Cal Scott! I love the stories they tell in between songs, they are quite the comedians whether they are setting up the Celtic songs or just just enjoying the audience. Seek them out for a very fun night! Kevin Burke play with a lot of different people but my mother, husband and I loved every moment of it. Xoxo People were dancing way in the back, and one is hard pressed not to be tapping their feet, hand or moving their heads to the beat of
Pigeon on the gate, glen of aherlow and the morning dew are the tunes. I spoke with the top Irish fiddlers and there is one man they have all spoke about as being their idol. Kevin Burke is in the top 5 there has ever been I would say anyways.
@TheDonaldido It's "Laffertey's". "The Starting Gate" is the name for the set (a lovely set at that) that includes "The Ladies Pantalettes, and , I think, "The Pullet".

He was one of the first musicians I heard play Irish folk music back in the 80's.

HUGE fan of his. I modeled my own playing after his in the beginning.
