| | All I know about Laurence Courtney is that he does a splendid band job both as a singer and banjoist on the Chieftains' "Water from the well." Does anybody have more information?
Discography |   | The Chieftains went back to their roots and gathered together a wide range of great Irish traditional musicians for their guest list.
Not much banjo content, but the little there is, is of top quality (as is the rest of the record). Laurence Courtney sits in for a set of rousing reels. (Why don't we hear more of his banjo playing?) But even more important: Barney McKenna joins his old band-mates for a splendid rendering of "Within a Mile from Dublin" making you wonder what would have happened if he had chosen to join the Chieftais rather than the Dubliners back in 1962. |
