An Irish traditional classic

"Up and Away comprises mostly flute music (all but two of the tracks have piano accompaniment by the great Charlie Lennon) but is a partial display of Frankie Gavin's talent as a multi-instrumentalist - fiddle, whistle and accordion, he also plays the piano and I wonder what else! Nowadays he is best known as one of the world's foremost Irish traditional fiddle players. As this CD is currently unavailable it is extremely rare just now and I felt lucky to obtain it in 2006 as I had worn out the vinyl LP copy I had bought back in 1984. A must for Irish music enthusiasts, hopefully it will be re-released fairly soon."
