Julia, John & Billy Clifford - The Star Of Munster Trio

Recorded between 1964 and 1976 this album features Irish Traditional Fiddle player Julia Clifford, sister of Denis Murphy, her husband John on Accordion, and their son Billy on Flute. Much of it was recorded around a single microphone in Eric and Lucy Farr's kitchen, so the sound quality isn't brilliant, but the quality of the music shines through, and Julia Clifford's playing is, as always, a thing of immense beauty.
