I came across the Dublin based 7-piece traditional Irish band Skipper’s Alley earlier this year and ran a little introduction to their music (read it here). I said back then that they were destined for great things, our Song of the Day strengthens that conviction. Buachaillín Deas Óg Mé is taken from their forthcoming album due out any day now and we’re looking forward to hearing more.
