Paz (Manda) Love the overall feel of the album - it enables me to feel like I'm in a pub, in a small Irish town 🥰 Favorite track: The Travelling Piper: The Ghosts of Gullion/Carnac/The Travelling Piper.

Mark Blackwell Enjoyed this album very much. Such great respect for the tradition and loads of heart in music.

about

Barry Kerr, multi-instrumentalist, composer, singer and painter releases his album 'Cairn' on December 18th.

Barry Kerr - Uilleann Pipes, Whistle, Flute, Vocals
Niamh Dunne - Fiddle
Ryan Molloy - Piano
Recorded by Seán Óg Graham in Bannview Studios
Mastered by Richard Dowling @WavMasteringLMK
Produced by Barry Kerr
Video by Aldoc Productions

As a recipient of the Liam O’Flynn Award from The National Concert Hall and the Arts Council in March 2020, this body of work is the fruit of that award. Drawing inspiration from the wild landscape of Connemara and the unearthly stone markers that can be found there, this record is a collection of Barry’s own compositions and also includes a set of jigs composed by piper Liam O’Flynn, arranged and interpreted by Kerr. Barry also spent time researching the Liam O’Flynn Collection at the Irish Traditional Music Archive which also informed the work. Collaborators on the album include Niamh Dunne on fiddle and Ryan Molloy on piano and it was recorded by Seán Óg Graham at Bannview Studios.
