A Fig For A Kiss

One of my favourite recordings of 2002.

Listen out especially for Micheal O Raghallaigh's concertina playing!

A joy from beginning to end!

Great!

I just saw them live a week ago. WOW!
If you happen to see them live, go and ask Joan
(the singer) to sing the ballad of James Connolly,
I promise you will get the shivers! Simply awesome!

Providence: A Fig For a Kiss

Does anybody know the name of the second tune in the last (live) set on this album.They've titled it as Sean sa Cheo...
It's a lively one, but the band sound is a little muddy to my ears. I could do with a name to hunt down a clearer version. Thanks.

Sounds like Sean sa Cheo to me, after Music in the Glen. It's a widely recorded tune: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/177

Ho hum. I think I'm getting old-fashioned: It reminds me of an auld fella who complained to me and several others after a Lunasa gig: 'It's all just feckin' bang, bang, bang on the guitar'.
Doesn't sound like the versions of the tune I've heard.

The auld fella's comments made me LOL.
