Following the success of their 2007 album Pride of the West, renowned duo, John Wynne (Flute) and John McEvoy (Fiddle), are set to unveil their new album, The Dancer at the Fair. Joining the much-celebrated duet are John Doyle on guitar and mandola, Mike McCague, bouzouki and guitar, Brian McGrath, keyboards, and Pádraic Keane on bodhrán – a stellar line-up of accompanists.

There are twelve tracks on the album and the tune choice is spot-on, blending the old and the new in captivating medleys, alongside straight reel, jig, and hornpipe tracks, including the playful title track The Dancer at the Fair. As one would expect from these experienced performers their music is fresh and unforced under finger and bow and executed with a crisp energy and deftness.

Recorded in Malbay Studios, Co. Clare the clarity of sound is maintained throughout, as this celebration of flute and fiddle wends its way with liveliness and sensitivity through each track. Wynne and McEvoy are seasoned performers with a wealth of experience and rich history of collaboration, having played with a variety of groups and partners over the years and toured extensively across Europe, the USA, and New Zealand.

The Dancer at the Fair promises to be a captivating listening experience for fans of traditional Irish music as Wynne and McEvoy continue to inspire and delight audiences with their exceptional talent and artistry.
