THE MUSICIANS
My Wild Irish Boy...
would never have happened but for a number of wonderful musicians who worked on the album.
Each one added something very special - how can I ever thank you enough?
Kristine Allen - fiddle
Kris plays and sings celtic music, has been known to play with the Launies as well as with Ken Kolodner and is also a member of Straynge Bedfellowes and the Bloom Consort

Jenny Brennan - harmonies
Jenny is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter. Once upon a time, she worked frequently with the Launies and was the prettier third of Brennan & O'Brien
* * *
Bruce Campbell - acoustic & electric bass
Bruce was an original member of Medicinal Purpose, though Jamie had seen him play before that with High Strung. Bruce plays bluegrass, jazz and a lot, lot more
* * *
Aoife Clancy - vocals
Jamie first met Aoife when she played with Cherish the Ladies, though he'd loved her music for longer than that. She now performs with her own band
* * *
John Hayden - drums
Along with playing music, John is one of the driving forces behind the Susquehanna Folk Music Society, which is how Jamie first met him. And when Jamie needed a drummer, John was ready, willing and able

Former Launie, Chad still sits in when he flies in from Nashville where he now lives and works
* * *
Jill Smith - piano
Among other things, Jill is a member of the Ryck Kaiser Trio, a group in which Jamie spends most of his time trying to work out what she's doing on piano - cool stuff!
* * *
John Winship - concertina, mandolin
