Light And Shade

1992 outing on Claddagh Records (CC57CD). Skylark are, in my humble opinion at least, an outstanding and under-rated band. The line-up on this occasion was Len Graham (vocals, bodhran, cutlery), Gerry O'Connor (fiddle), Mairtin O'Connor (accordion) and Garry O'Briain (guitar, mandocello, keyboards). Graham's version of The Boys Of Mullaghbawn is just superb!

Agree with you there Aidan. Excellent music and song from very talented lads. I once saw Gerry O'C and Máirtín O'C do a gig together as part of the Belfast Folk Festival - it ties for first with Paddy Keenan and Steve Cooney as the best gigs I ever attended.
