Chicago-born Liz Carroll has been amazing audiences with her fiddle
since winning the Senior All-Ireland Championship at the age of 18.
Known for fiery performances full of inventiveness and intense
emotion, she was awarded a Heritage Fellowship by the National
Endowment for the Arts for her ongoing influence on Irish music in
the US. John Doyle is an extraordinary acoustic guitarist as well as
an accomplished singer and songwriter. He was an original member of
the acclaimed group Solas and can be heard accompanying many top
Irish artists.
"...a magnificent balance of virtuosity, drive, and finesse is firmly
upheld. Carroll's bowing and Doyle's picking represent a kind of
soloing in sync, each supporting and inspiring the other without a
whiff of self-indulgence... (They) are a duo in every sense of the
word here: synaptic in communication, instinctive in reaction, tight
in execution, rich in ideas, and unabashedly having a ball. So will
everyone else who listens to "In Play," one of the best Irish
traditional recordings of the year." - Earle Hitchner, Irish Echo
