Kevin Burke, one of the grand masters of Irish fiddling, has been at the forefront of Celtic traditional music for over 35 years. Specializing in the intricately ornamental Sligo style, he is well known to international audiences for his work with the seminal Bothy Band, Micheal O Domhnaill, Patrick Street, and the Celtic Fiddle Festival. "Many people have forgotten that this kind of music used to be played mainly solo... so I thought it would be interesting to let people hear the ‘naked' fiddle once more." His program features acoustic music and stories. "one of the great living Celtic fiddlers" - New York Times
