Ronan Browne - Duet With Peter O'Loughlin

Duet With Peter O'Loughlin

To this day Ronan’s friendship and musical collaboration with Peter O’Loughlin is fêted as one of the most enduring partnerships in Irish music. Their strong combination of mid-19th century flat-pitch uilleann pipes and tuned-down fiddle, playing the old dance music of Ireland, makes for a rare and thoroughly enjoyable evening’s entertainment. Their 1988 duet album with Claddagh Records, ‘The South West Wind'’ was received with critical acclaim, and in 2002 they released an even more popular 2nd CD called ‘Touch Me if You Dare’. They have recently recorded a third album which awaits release. With Arts Council DEIS funding, they recently recorded a series of interviews of Peter recalling his personal knowledge and friendship with many of the important musician and singers of the 20th century.
