'Pride of The West' is a new album released on the Cló-Iar Chonnachta label during Summer 2007. It's a 13 track, vibrant, dynamic CD, with fiddler John McEvoy and flute player John Wynne brewing a flute/fiddle storm. The musicians are ably supported by the talents of Arty McGlynn on guitars and Paddy McEvoy on piano. The tunes played are mainly from the Sligo/Roscommon repertoire, with unusual local versions of tunes, along with a couple of new compositions thrown into the mix!
Both players have strong Co. Roscommon roots. They both have a huge interest in the flute/fiddle playing of that region and are both experienced musicians with previous extensive recording and touring careers.
John McEvoy released a solo CD; 'Returning' in 1998. He recorded and performed with the group Bakerswell and has toured with Providence. He also recorded a critically acclaimed album,' The Kilmore Fancy'(2004), in duet with his flute playing sister, Catherine McEvoy.
John Wynne released his solo album 'With Every Breath' in 2000. He was a founding member of Providence, with whom he toured extensively. He also played on 'Providence' (1999) and the album 'A Fig for a Kiss' (2001) with the group.
