Few musical sounds make a more honest and direct statement than duos in the Irish tradition. So we feature pairs this week: the fiddle of Martin Hayes in dialog with Dennis Cahill's guitar, the late Frankie Kennedy whose flute soars in partnership with Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh's fiddle (pron: Mir-aid Nee Weeney), and the intertwined voices of sisters Maighread and Triona Ni Dhomhnaill (Pron: Myrud and Treena Nee Gonnel).
