  • breathtaking sharing deep, ddep feeling from the inexhaustible well of our tradition.....Thank you so much! Go seolaigh sibhse linn go dti La an Luain!

  • @mikeravey1 Thank you for your comment. I love Eugene's playing and wish to share it with as many people as possible.

  • His tone is gorgeous. I used to hear him play in Washington, DC, and I wish I had a recording of every piece I ever heard him play. His style is so rich and feeling, tin my mind unsurpassed. Slán, Eugene.

  • I agree....no one can play slow airs like him. In fact no one can play the Irish dance tunes quite like him either. The last time I heard him play was a few years ago in Derry. I sang The Last Rose of Summer and he played an exquisite harmony....I was in heaven.

  • Outstanding. I've heard these before but not quite like this.

  • They are really something aren't they?

  • i used to sing with james when i was a wee girl.

  • This transports me home and there are tears in my eyes now - but happy tears!

  • Breathtakingly drawing from the deepest deepest wells of our tradition...Go maire thu is do cheol go deo, a Eoghan! Mile maith agatsa is do Sheamais freisin!

  • @maureenderry Eugene gave me this CD when I first met him in 1995- we were on a Folklore/Folk Music tour with Eugene and Mick Moloney. I think I've almost worn the CD out! My grandchildren have all had naps and bedtime with these melodies. What an incredible talent fiddle, irish dance and soccer as a youngster. He's a truly delightful man.

  • Peaceful and pensive, very expressive playing.
