COMD2011

Pat Kilbride comes from Ireland and has played guitar from an early age. He went to England in 1975 and joined Battlefield Band. He then went to Europe, Brittany first where he made an album (released on Temple) and then on to Belgium where he released another album. He then went to live in the United States and this album is a compilation of the two aforementioned releases and shows the width and originality of Pats musicianship.

IN MUSIC - If you have ever marvelled how Celtic Fiddlers fingers fly over the strings - embellishing the main notes with extra little grace notes - youre going to enjoy the guitar playing of Pat Kilbride - a fine musician with wealth of material ranging from Child ballads to Sting.

HOT PRESS - From start to finish this album is simply a joy to listen to. With a predominant flavour of strings (Kilbride is a master of acoustic guitar and modern cittern) its cadences spark and scatter into the scenes like light through leaves on a summer day.
