Tim Carter's solo CD debut

Tim Carter, well known to Irish audiences from his appearances with the Carter Brothers Band at the Johnny Keenan Banjo Festival and elsewhere, has released Bang bang!, his first solo CD, for sale on the Carter Brothers website. It should be in the stores on 26 June.

Musicians also taking part in the project include Tim's brother Danny, Tim O’Brien, Alison Brown, Casey Driessen, and Jim Hurst (all of whom have played several times in Ireland), as well as Matt Flinner, Tim Stafford and Rob Ickes from Blue Highway, and Ross Sermons. Fellow banjoists Tony Trischka and Alison Brown have given Tim Carter's playing high praise, and on the CD he also plays guitar and mandolin.

The ten original compositions include 'Where I belong', about his first time in Ireland, and 'Vassillie’s lullaby', a tribute to the late great fiddler Vassar Clements. For further details or a copy for airplay, contact Shari Lacy of GoodStuff PR Co. (e-mail)
