New Road - Leonard Barry

Barry, Leonard
New Road - Leionard Barry

North Kerry Piper Leonard Barry released his second CD entitled New Road in September 2013. This new album explores Leonard's musical journey over the past decade, reflecting both the music he has played and the musicians who have influenced him.

The combination of solo, duets and ensemble playing is a feature of the CD. Joining Leonard as guests on the CD are John Carty (banjo), Rick Epping (harmonica and concertina), Seamie O'Dowd (guitar), Cathy Jordan (bodhran), Conor Byrne (flute), Andy Morrow (fiddle), Tony Byrne (guitar), Cyril O'Donoghue (bouzouki) and Tony O'Connell (concertina).

Leonard draws on the diverse individual and regional styles of the guest artists and surprises the listener with instrument combinations that are rarely heard together - like harmonica and pipes. As a collection the music draws from the Traditional sources, staying true to their roots featuring music that Leonard has been playing for many years.
