Josie Nugent & Brian Stafford
In 2014, Josie Nugent and Brian Stafford recorded their debut album The Caves of Cong with guest musicians Alan Burke, Edel McLaughlin and Mary Nugent. The tracks on the album draw on a repertoire found in collections, much of which dates from before the Great Famine. Some of the melodies are unusual versions of commonly known tunes, many may not have been heard in living memory. Their duo playing has been described as fresh, electric and sublime. A stand out feature of their superb musicianship is the use of instrumentation to create texture, colour and authenticity. Josie’s languid Clare style on fiddle, octave violin and the evocative Stroh fiddle blends with the sweet mellow tones from Brian’s innovate piping skills on his concert and B♭ pipes.The Caves of Cong has been hailed as an intriguing, beguiling and inspirational; an album that opens a door to a world of music waiting to be re-discovered.
