about

"Full Circle, has thrills and spills by the dozen and is a roller coaster ride of jaw dropping and breath-taking proportions, clearly going where no bodhrán player has gone before” – John O’Regan, Irish Music Magazine

This is a fantastic CD from start to finish with top class musicians and a world class Bodhrán player. Colm Phelan is not just a Bodhrán player but a highly accomplished musician as this album shows. His ability to interpret the melodies and enhance them where needed is evident throughout. From the standard time signatures to the more complex, Colm is in total control. It’s lovely to here one to one playing to Flute, Fidddle, Button Accordian, Banjo, Piano & even Voice which are all given individualistic treatment relevant to the specific melody and instrument. His tonal work is top notch and his sticking has a lovely balance between solid motor & groove rhythms and more intricate single ended work. This young man’s future is bright within our tradition and Full Circle is proof of that. The Bodhrán in Colm’s hands has in many ways come full circle and with the album and the top class melody players on it, Colm I feel, gives a veritable masterclass on the humble goatskin." -- Junior Davey (Five Times All Ireland Bodhran Champion)
