The CD/MP3 that I'm listening to the most right now is.....

[Nanohedron]

There was a time when this art would have looked magical to me; now it only looks like something I see all too often every day.

"The Ravishing Genius of Phones"

[FascinatedWanderer]

For me it's some mp3s of unknown provenance of June McCormack and Mike Rafferty playing live in a pub somewhere. Lotsa great flute tunes.

I saw the Tannahill Weavers last Tuesday. So it's been them, Battlefield Band, Old Blind Dogs, and that sort of thing lately.

BTW, Phil Smilie (TW) tells me his long-awaited solo CD is very nearly out. He showed me a 'prototype' from his computer, but I didn't get a listen. That's definitely on my gotta-have list, though!

Willie Kelly and Mike Rafferty "The New Broom"...the opposite end of the spectrum from "Ravishing Bones", an album I have and like, signed by the artist himself.

[Steampacket]

Lake Street Dive with the fantastic bass player/singer-songwriter Bridget Kearney and the great voice of Rachel Price, making some of the best music ever 2012:

And from Camden, London, Amy's stamping grounds the wild & retro rockabilly Kitty, Daisy & Lewis:

And some wild flute playing from Brendan Mulholland in Brennan's, Tubber:

Well, its not flute music (although Chris Norman does play flute on one track), but I've been thoroughly enjoying Bonnie Rideout's "Scotland's Fiddle Piobaireachd, Vol. 1" recently. Its really superb!

You can find out more on her website, where you can listen to some tracks and even buy it if you like. Highly recommended!

I want to thank the folks who recommended Steph Geremia. I got her CD a few days ago and it hasn't made it out of my platter yet.

[Fifthtry]

I too have just discovered Steph Geremia's "The Open Road" and think it's lovely. I'd also add to this list Jérôme Palac'hig's CD "Maudy's Hut." Very nice flute CD.

I just listened to Paul Macgrattan playing the President's Garfield Set from Within a Mile from Dublin and after that, Conal O'Grada playing Lord Gordon's/Kiss the Maid Behind the Barrel in Colm Murphy 's An Bodhran, one after the other for the third time, amazing

Do Conal O'Grada's flutes last more than a year?

I made a list in Spotify with all Irish flute players I could find, just search for "Irish flute" or "flauta irlandesa" and you'll find it

Steph Geremia's is excellent too

[Jay-eye]

Some great suggestions for new listenings here - thanks to all for the heads up!

Liam Kelly's (Dervish) solo CD, "Sweetwood" has been top pick on my iPod lately.

[RudallRose]

I like that one, too, Russ, and remains in my truck.

Lately, tho, it's been Joe Skelton who's been on the player.
I love how his ornaments are just that -- his. Really interesting.

Cover art beside, Finnegan is the sh*t. You know it in your ravishing genius of bones.
