Liz Carroll & John Doyle

Part of the new traditionalist movement in Irish music, the partnership between fiddler Liz Carroll and guitarist and singer John Doyle is exciting news in the folk and Celtic worlds.

After John’s appearances on Liz’s last two CD’s, and having co-produced the latter (Lake Effect) with Liz, they have discovered a dynamism and sympathy in their creative work together that now moves from the studio to stages across the world. Liz and John have appeared in festivals and venues throughout the U.S., and in special tours of Japan and France. Check here to see where they’re appearing next!

In Play is their debut recording, and it celebrates Irish music’s most exciting and dynamic musical partnership. We hope you’ll enjoy Liz and John, on In Play and when they play live near you.

Liz Carroll and John Doyle – The Washington Square United Methodist Church – Friday January 9th, 2004 By Alice Farrell in New York, www.jigtime.com On one of the coldest evenings yet this winter, the new home of the Blarney Star Concert series welcomed the fiery fiddle and guitar virtuosity of Liz Carroll and John Doyle. Despite the chilly temperature and biting wind, the church was packed with music lovers coming out to hear an inspiring evening of music. The chill in the air did wreak havoc with Liz' fingers and John's strings, but they soldiered on and gave a wonderful show full of roaring reels and plaintive airs. Their styles are wonderfully suited to each other with jazzy undertones and quirky syncopation that infuses many of Liz' original tunes with an air of fun and whimsy. Highlights of the show included John performing the song “A Miner's Life” which he popularized while a member of trad supergroup Solas and Liz' moving interpretation of John's southern flavored waltz. And probably the funniest moment of the evening, in their final set of the first half, when they launched from Liz' tune “Up All Night” into “Pigeon at the Gate”, John broke his second string of the evening and Liz slowed her playing down to allow him enough time to restring and jump back in, hardly missing a beat.
