about

Handsome piping, bold fiddling.Hurry the Jug is a very satisfying recording of stylish traditional music played by three musicians confident in their craft" Kevin Burke

There’s a palpable sense of delight and ease permeating this collection. A trio of musicians who’ve parked their egos outside the door and let the music tell its own tales.
The Irish Times

Hurry the Jug is an experience to listen to from beginning to end, with a wide variety of musical textures and tune selections, giving the listener both a feeling of sitting in a back corner of a pub with a pint at a late night session or enjoying the tunes in a concert hall. www.67music

The origins of the Trio can be traced back to Tubercurry and Bunnanaden, the heartland of the famed South Sligo tradition where both Declan Folan and Shane McGowan grew up playing music together from their early teens. Leonard Barry, from North Kerry first met Declan in London in the early 1990’s where they played music together on the traditional music scene. All three musicians are now based in Sligo.

Between them the Trio have shared the stage and recorded with many of music greats including Zakeer Hussain, Lunasa, Dervish, Sean Keane, Luka Bloom, Lisa O’Neill amongst many others. They have performed throughout the world at many festivals and concert halls.

Their new release “Hurry the Jug” traces the various influences that have shaped their music over the course of many years. The opening track which is also the title of the CD is a tune that Declan and Leonard learned from the great Bobby Casey’s recording Casey in the Cowhouse. Tributes to both Liam O’Flynn and Tommy Peoples’ are included, the hornpipe tracks The Green Island and Rick’s Rambles were both of which were recorded by O’Flynn, while Waiting for a Call was composed by Tommy Peoples and he also recorded Brogan’s Fancy on his iconic “Iron Man” recording. Others include new compositions from Sligo fiddle player Philip Duffy, and a newly composed tune by Declan Folan entitled The Carousel .

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

They have the feel, the rhythm. So many musicians play like they're being chased by a bear. Not these two. It's such a joy to listen to. Rusty Gully
