Our Take

Dan Walsh's latest album "O'Neill's Tunes" is a delightful romp through traditional Irish music, infused with Walsh's signature quirky flair.

From the opening track, "The Reel of Rio," Walsh showcases his impeccable banjo playing skills, weaving intricate melodies that transport listeners straight to a cosy pub in the heart of Dublin.

Tracks like "The Lonesome Jig" and "The Jovial Polka" have an infectious energy that will have you tapping your feet and clapping your hands in no time. Walsh's playful attitude shines through on every track, adding a sense of whimsy to the traditionally sombre genre.

One of the standout moments on the album is Walsh's reimagining of the classic tune "The Paddy's Lamentation." His unique arrangement breathes new life into the old standard, injecting it with a sense of urgency and modernity that sets it apart from the rest.

Overall, "O'Neill's Tunes" is a charming and fun-filled album that is sure to delight fans of Irish folk music and newcomers alike. Walsh's expert musicianship and infectious personality make this album a must-listen for anyone looking to add a bit of joy to their music collection. Grab a pint, kick back, and let Dan Walsh transport you to the rolling hills of the Emerald Isle with his enchanting tunes. Cheers!
