The Breeze from Erin - Irish Folk Music on Wind Instruments
(Topic - 12T184 - 1969)
Willie Clancy - Uillean Pipes & Whistle
Festy Conlan - Whistle
Tim Lyons - Accordion
Séamus Tansey - Flute, Whistle & Bodhrán
Tony McMahon - Accordion
Reg Hall - Piano
Recorded by Bill Leader in 1967, Topic were again stretching the criteria when they included pipes and accordion on a recording dedicated to Irish music played on wind instruments... Willie Clancy's versions of 'An Phis Fhliuch' and 'Táimse im Chlodladh' are probably the highlights of the album, but McMahon's rendition of 'Bean Dubh an Ghleanna' is also superb.
