On Honk Toot Suite renowned tenor banjo player Éamonn Coyne teams up with singer-songwriter/guitarist Kris Drever. This eminently appealing collection of tunes & songs showcases the gifts of each of these talented Celtic musicians in turn. One of the most enjoyable duet CDs in the genre in recent years.
“The clear, earthy tone of Éamonn’s four-string banjo amplifies the effect of his sharp picking, while Kris Drever's percussive chords and driving bass runs keep feet tapping.” The Halifax Herald
The concept behind the music was simple: both Éamonn and Kris (son of Ivan Drever) contributed music that reflected the different styles that have influenced their playing over the years. Traditional tunes and songs were complemented by the addition of several original compositions.
House Jigs; Lucy’s Swamp; The Peninsula Set; The Viking’s Bride; Lakeside Barndances; Roscommon Reels; Walking in the Dew; Glencoe to Gort; Cock-A-Doodle; Twenty Quid; Honk Toot Sweet.
