• Originally released in 1979 with claims to be the first compilation of Celtic finger style guitar playing.

• This was indeed a style which, along with new tunings such as DADGAD, was then in its early days of development by acoustic guitarists but the performances here are assured, complex and highly original

• The four musicians featured here are Davy Graham, the most innovative and influential guitarist of his generation; Dave Evans, supremely at ease with fingerpicking arrangements of O'Carolan tunes; Dan ar Bras, a pioneer of the Breton music revival and, from the USA, Duck Baker, a master of many different styles
