"Paddy Canny's Castle (jigs)" by Time To Time

First half of the Twentieth Century... The Irish Republic took advantage of its recent independance and its role as a stepping stone between Europe and the New World to wipe out memories of crisis years to take artistic achievements to their heights. This effervescence produced great musicians, masters of their craft, who went to the USA, where, thanks to the rising phonographic industry, they aroused a new interest in traditional Irish music.

Some years later, fiddlers Paddy Canny, PJ Hayes, Bobby Casey, Paddy Fahy, Ed Reavy, Sean Ryan or Junior Crehan, as well as accordionists Paddy O'Brien and Joe Cooley were to become legendary. Not only were they great performers, they were also composers of genius who inspired generations to come. It was the Golden Age of Irish music.

Time To Time tries to be faithful to the traditional feel, playing music as it used to be played in the heart of post-war rural communities in Ireland. Lively, spontaneous, profound and joyful, Time To Time's music resembles that of the great masters of the past whose music we have all inherited.

Time To Time mingles the sounds of fiddle, accordion - and its cousin the melodion - cello and guitar with the warmth of the human voice, in a repertoire that has its roots deep in the west of Ireland, County Clare, Galway and Tipperary to be precise; for that is where the most beautiful traditional tunes originated.

Time To Time will carry you through time and space into the warmth and friendliness of the Irish pubs and dance-halls of bygone days. The free style of accompaniment on melodies played strictly in the west of Ireland traditions create the original sound of Time to Time.
