Looking through my old LP collection I came across this oddity. Recorded in 1976 on Gael-Linn, it seems to be a selection of tracks from very young emerging musicians, some of whom seem to have vanished without trace. The tracks are mainly pure traditional but with a folk revival style guitar group and one folk rock band (Hemlock; no relation I imagine to the heavy metal band). However it is notable for a very young Iarla O'Lionaird, Mick O'Brien, Maeve O'Donnell and Dermot Lernihan.
The artists are:
1: Tulla Junior Group
2: Gaois
3: Micheal O'Briain (Mick O'Brien)
4: Carmel Ni Bhaoill
5: Diarmuid O'Learnachain (Dermot Lernihan)
6: Seamus O'Baoill
7: Hemlock
8: Gaois
9: Iarla O'Lionaird
10: Micheal O'Ciaraidh
11: Carmel Ni Bhaoill
12: Meabh Ni Dhonnghaile (Maeve O'Donnell)
13: Maire Clar & Siobhan Breathnach
14: Colaiste Eoin
