DCD 093 - October on Achill
from The DCD Enhanced Classical 'Cast Hosted by Ralph Graves, host
Redmond O'Toole is a classical guitarist who moves easily between the classical world and that of traditional Irish music. His instrument, the "Brahms guitar" is an unusual eight-stringed guitar with a special resonating box and held like a cello. O'Toole uses the instrument to great effect, especially on his first CD with VGo Records. October on Achill features O'Toole performing Irish music with many of the same musicians he's been playing informally with (on the island of Achill) for the past 15 years. The result is of an hour's worth of excellent and exciting performances that successfully straddles Redmond O'Toole's two musical worlds.
