The rafters rang out in Carrick-on-Shannon last Saturday night as highly regarded traditional musicians Lorraine Sweeney (flute) and Jacqui Martin (fiddle) officially launched their brand-new studio album What’s Seldom is Wonderful at the iconic Cryan’s Teach Ceoil.

They were joined on the night by John McCartin, Dave Sheridan, Noel Sweeney and Liam Cryan.

Lorraine and Jacqui, who have shared a long-standing musical partnership rooted in the heart of the traditional scene, treated the packed venue to a shared repertoire that spans classic session reels to beautifully arranged, lesser-heard gems.
