Viva Voce & Gael Linn

Michael Coleman's recordings of Sligo style Irish fiddling (1921-44) are without doubt the most influential ever made. This new Gael Linn / Viva Voce package was originally produced by Harry Bradshaw of Dublin. The beautiful 2 CD set contains 48 tracks - over half of Coleman's recorded output. To complement the package there is a well researched 80 page book which offers fascinating history, discography, and numerous old photos.
