Muıntır Lewis - Weeds in the Garden

 Muıntır Lewis or as you and i would call them the Lewis family are a musical family from East Galway, consisting of Breda Lewis [mandolin] and John Lewis [flute], and their two children Patsy Lewis [concertina] and Liam Lewis [fiddle]. Music mainly from their local area of Galway, including 3 of Paddy Fahey’s compositions. What you see is what you get - 4 musicians playing in various combinations, with no guest appearances, straightforward , simple arrangements of a fine selection of tunes , all at the very leisurely pace so common of East Galway - style players. A lovely album.
