Mick Kinsella

Mick Kinsella, one of Ireland's best kept musical secrets, further enhances his reputation as one of the finest harmonica players east of the Atlantic on both diatonic and chromatic with the release of this, his first solo album. An unashamed advocate of the overblow school, Mick puts his diatonic harps through their paces, demonstrating the potential of this approach to playing in both the traditional and 'world music' styles represented here. With excellent control and a horn-like tone to die for, Mick breaks new ground by taking the Richter-tuned diatonic beyond the limitations that have previously restricted its potential for expression and interpretation by more traditional players.
