Becky Taylor, one of the few female exponents of the uilleann pipes in this country, has just released a new CD. It's called "Ireland Bridge" and includes 10 must-have new tracks, a dynamic mix of traditional and new compositions.

Becky is a stalwart of the Manchester and Leeds thriving Irish music session scene which has led to her latest collaborations with Dave Kosky (guitar) and Danny Cameron (box), and also with Manchester based musicians Frances O'Rourke (fiddle) and Pat O'Reilly (bouzouki). She has appeared on stage alongside notable contemporary artistes such as Michael McGoldrick, Shooglenifty, Dervish, and Paddy Keenan amongst others.

You can buy the CD via Becky's website at http://www.beckytaylor.info/albums/albums.php.

Note that you can keep up to date with the latest on traditional Irish music in the North West at the excellent Ceol Up North website.
