Leonard Barry’s Littoral is a masterclass in uilleann piping; a top-notch album featuring Michael McGoldrick, Andy Morrow, Shane McGowan, Kevin Burke, Alice Allen, Michael Holmes, Seamie O’Dowd and Brian McDonagh that showcases his skill and deep knowledge of the instrument.
The line-up on ‘I Am of Ireland’, reads like a who’s who of the mainly Irish but also Irish American and British folk music world. There’s plenty of enjoyable music here and if it guides you back to Yeats’ poetry, well, that’s a worthwhile bonus.
