'a sublime album of fiddle tunes' - The Irish Times
'His music speaks a language as accustomed to reaching back as it is to looking forward, fingering its history with the same loving care that it does the present.' - The Ticket
'an excellent set of tunes' - Sunday Herald
'he puts his considerable talents entirely at the service of the tune, letting the melody suggest the pace and ornamentation.' - Hotpress
‘the best Irish album of 2004’ - irishmusicreview.com
'dazzling medley of reels, jigs, highlands and airs' - Belfast Telegraph
"Sparkling" " Immaculate" and with "Dazzling Ability" were words used recently by the national Press to describe the music of Gerry O'Connor, one of Ireland's most outstanding fiddle players. His family has played fiddle for at least four generations and Gerry is able to draw on this wealth of music learned from his mother Rose O'Connor and also from hand-written manuscripts passed down through the family.
