    traditional music.”

    piping and testament to the man's influence and prestige in Irish music circles”.

"Littoral is a masterclass in uilleann piping, with top-notch, varied accompaniment and production. It showcases the wealth of influences on Leonard’s playing, his considerable skill and his deep knowledge of the instrument. Uilleann piping albums don’t come along often, and ones this good are rare." Folk Radio UK

Leonard Barry's new recording "Littoral" shows remarkable depth and good taste. This is real Irish piping from a master in his prime, with sympathetic backing by an equally qualified group of noted traditional musicians. The pipes-flute-fiddle front line rides above the accompaniment which compliments his effective use of the drones and regulators. It's also a nice snapshot of the current trad scene in Sligo where Barry currently resides. (Tim O'Brien)
