5 out of 5 stars Gets better with every listen.......2006-11-16

Boy has this one grown on me to the point it's always in my car CD player. It's a very pleasant mix of hauntingly slow sung songs (airs? not sure but they are tracks 2, 5 and 8) and uptempo instrumentals. I am a guitar player and find it wonderful to listen to Michael O Domnhaill's back up playing. At first listen I didn't think this was that great, but it gets better with every listen! I've just ordered their CD Promenade based on Portland.

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best Irish fiddling out there.......2000-01-30

Simply the best Irish fiddling/guitar playing I have heard in a long time. The tunes carry a wonderful spirit and the songs are amazing. Burke and O'Dhomnnail will always be (in my mind at least) the greatest of duets. I would recommend this album for anyone interested in learning Irish fiddle or backup style guitar.

4 out of 5 stars A superb, memorable disc!.......2000-01-08

I've listened to Irish traditional music for a good many years, and it doesn't get much better than Portland. A wonderful, memorable blend of music and song. Kevin Burke's fiddling is in top-form, and the songs, in Irish gaelic, are hauntingly beautiful. I turn to this disc again and again and it always sounds fresh. My only complaint: There's not quite enough music - running time is 37 minutes and some change. Still, this is a superb disc, one I would strongly recommend.
