20 Years of Irish Music
20 Years of Irish Music Irish Week at Augusta started in 1982. It was a modest beginning, just three instructors. Liz Carroll, Billy McComiskey and Mick Moloney taught about 40 students the rudiments of style on fiddle, accordion, mandolin and tenor banjo. It ended up being so popular that Irish Week became an integral part of the Augusta program, and has grown to become a major institution in the world of Irish traditional culture in the United States, attracting enthusiasts from all over the nation. The tunes on this double CD were all selected from 20 years of concert recordings housed in Augusta's archives in the Booth Library of Davis and Elkins College. Produced by Flawn Williams, original recordings by Flawn Williams and Bill Dudley. Mick Moloney, Consultant. Margo Blevin, Executive Producer.
