Tony McManus

A very deep and compelling album of Celtic guitar music from one of the leading exponents of the acoustic guitar teamed with a world-class fretless bass player. Tony and Alain project traditional music into a new elemental sphere, with the profound notes of the bass giving unusual emphasis to the tunes of Cape Breton, Scotland, Brittany, and the Balkans.

“Tony is one of the most listenable guitarists around”. Phil Cunningham.
