Recorded at Walsh's Hill Studio in St. John's (owned and operated by Greg Walsh), this album began with the idea to preserve and present traditional instrumental dance music from the Bay de Verde area. Traditional vocal selections and contemporary/original tracks were added later - resulting in a special collection of songs and tunes passed down through four generations performed together by Ray and Greg - father and son.
New album now available!!!!
"Generations" - The new 2009 release by Ray and Greg Walsh featuring traditional songs and tunes from their home area is now available.
