About First Through the Gate
Named "CD of the Year" for 2002 by the Irish Echo, the largest Irish American newspaper in the United States, this long-awaited, stunning solo debut was identified as a benchmark release. Premier Irish American fiddler Brian Conway performs with a skill, grace and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own. Well known in the Irish Celtic community, Conway has won numerous All-Ireland fiddling competitions, and has been called one of the best fiddlers of his generation. Nothing is missed or missing in Brian Conway's Sligo-style fiddling. From jigs to hornpipes, and highlands to slow airs, Conway preserves and passes along the best of the past while molding it with the talent and imagination of the present.Click here to see reviews of First Through the Gate.
