The idea of "Many Happy Returns" was to produce an album of well-known tunes and songs which never seem to get old. And indeed they were selected well, and played even better. I'm a big fan of Conor Keane's box playing and he has a great driving rhythm behind the group. The songs are lovely too and Niamh Parsons is a nice singer.
The album was released on the Shanachie Label (79095) in 1995.
