Our Take

Some musicians strive for greatness, others are born with it woven into the very fabric of their being. KEVIN BURKE, alongside Christian Lemaître, André Brunet, and Nicolas Quémener form the Celtic Fiddle Festival, a quartet that effortlessly blends tradition with innovation in their latest album.

From the moment the first notes hit your ears, you are transported to a world where fiddles reign supreme. The interplay between each musician is nothing short of magical, as they effortlessly weave in and out of each other's melodies with a synchronicity that can only come from years of playing together.

Tracks like "The Road to Garrison" showcase the group's technical prowess, with each member taking turns to shine on their respective instruments. However, it's in the slower, more contemplative moments, such as "The Maple Leaf" where the true beauty of the Celtic Fiddle Festival shines through.

Burke's fiddle playing is nothing short of mesmerizing, his bow dancing across the strings with a fluidity that is both captivating and inspiring. Lemaître, Brunet, and Quémener each bring their own unique flair to the mix, creating a sonic tapestry that is both timeless and modern.

In a world where music seems to be increasingly disposable, KEVIN BURKE and the Celtic Fiddle Festival prove that there is still room for artistry and skill. So go ahead, pour yourself a dram of whiskey, sit back, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
