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!
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.
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.
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!

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
