Liam Farrell and Joe Whelan are very much part of the current mainstream of Irish music in London, having played together for approaching two decades, on occasion with the London born Roscommon flute player, James Carty and with Reg Hall, who first vamped the piano with them back in the 1960's.
Liam Farrell from Tyrone and Joe Whelan from Co Offaly went there and stayed, and became mainstays in a burgeoning movement that continues until today, with the grandchildren of the original musicians still playing great music.
Liam (banjo) and Joe (accordeon, their spelling) give a lengthy account of their history in the CD's cover booklet and seem to have played with anyone and everyone who's anyone on the Irish dance in London.

 The Session: Recordings - They Sailed Away From Dublin Bay by Liam Farrell And Joe Whelan
It's a down to earth, solid set of tunes, played with restraint and taste by Farrell (banjo) and Whelan (accordeon), accompanied by Reg Hall on piano and given a hand on a number of tracks by the sprog of the outfit, James Carty (flute).
That Farrell's and Whelan's talent was tempered in the white heat of such glory days is obvious in every phrase they play.
The first of the hornpipes in particular sees Whelan wring streams of crisp and starkly-etched triplets from his accordeon and yet the dynamic of the tune never falters beneath its rich top-dressing of ornamentation.
