Nominees

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 solo 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 across Europe and Asia.


Double Play, their second recording for Compass Records, is scheduled for release on March 3, 2009 and continues Irish music's most exciting and dynamic musical twosome.
