“Riverdance” veteran fiddle soloist and two-time All Ireland champion Patrick Mangan returns with a new album of wintery tunes and songs. “The Frost Is All Over” is a musical reflection of the winter months, as well as the unique historical moment we are collectively experiencing. Recorded entirely remotely over the month of November, 2020, the album features an impressive lineup of special guests from both sides of the Atlantic and includes traditional favorites, original compositions, and a few surprises.
About Patrick Mangan

Here's What People Are Saying About "The Frost Is All Over"
“'The Frost is All Over' is a lovely album. Mangan’s playing is, of course, top tier, but it’s how well the various musicians he’s enlisted come together in artistic collaboration (despite distance and circumstance) that gives this album its real life. Although an album for all seasons, the wintry theme is well handled and defined, and will help give this album perennial appeal.” - Daniel Neely
“Patrick is in top form, this is a not to be missed recording! Congratulations not only to Patrick but to all of the wonderful musicians who participated in this fantastic collaboration.” - Brian Conway
