| Both players have strong Co. Roscommon
roots. They both have a huge interest in the flute/fiddle
playing of that region and are both experienced musicians
with previous extensive recording and touring careers.
John McEvoy released a solo CD: 'Returning'
in 1998. He recorded and performed with the group Bakerswell
and has toured with Providence. He also recorded a critically
acclaimed album,’ The Kilmore Fancy'(2004), in duet
with his flute playing sister, Catherine McEvoy.
John Wynne released his solo album 'With
Every Breath' in 2000. He was a founding member of Providence,
with whom he toured extensively. He also played on 'Providence'
(1999) and the album 'A Fig for a Kiss' (2001) with the
group.
These two musicians have been performing together during
the earlier months of 2007 to great reaction. There are
a number of CD launches and concert appearances lined up
for the rest of 2007. Hope to see you along the way......
Recent reviews:
'Regional accents are alive and thriving on this collection
on north Connaught tunes. Roscommon flute player John Wynne
and Birmingham-born fiddler John McEvoy make sprightly,
uncluttered music: filigree playing that stitches the two
instruments together seamlessly.' IRISH TIMES
'As duets go; it’s hard to beat the classic combination
of flute and fiddle- and no better men than John Wynne and
John McEvoy to show us why. Throughout, the playing is lively
and clean, with appropriately understated backing by Arty
McGlynn on guitar and McEvoy's son Paddy on piano.'
