Uilleann pipers Billy McCormick and Adrian Jefferies grew up together in Carrickfergus, County Antrim. Now they're living on two different continents – McCormick in Killnaboy, Co. Clare and Jefferies in Brisbane, Australia – but they've teamed up to record this unusual album featuring alternating tracks recorded by each player on his respective home turf. All the same, there's something deeply charming about this musical meeting of old friends across the waves. Jefferies in particular contributes some fine original tunes, including a wistful 'Coineadh do Mhuintir Gubbi Gubbi' (Lament for the Gubbi Gubbi People), with a blast of didgeridoo at the end.
