Posted here 3 years ago and only 1 comment ? Tune sets are to the high standard you would expect, but with the noteable exception of Suzanne Vega's "The Queen And The Soldier", I think this the poorest selection of songs on a "Dervish" album ever. Disappointing, and with all due respect to Cathy Jordan's singing, they have a 2nd great singer in Seamie O'Dowd. I wish they'd make use of his vocal talents more.
Last Nigt's Fun is not the reel but the slip jig also known as "Paddy be aisy"

Kenny,
Séamie left Dervish several years ago.

Thanks, Mac....
Now that I look at the sleeve notes, I see that Seamie had left by the time they made this CD, which renders my last 2 sentences above redundant.
