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.
Mick O’Brien, Emer Mayock, Aoife Ní Bhriain return with a second recording of music collected by James Goodman. ‘More Tunes from the Goodman Manuscripts’ has the intimacy and warmth of a pub session.
★★★★★ Aoibhinn Crónán (The Deadly Buzz) is Mick O’Brien and Caoimhin O Raghallaigh second album. It delights from the very first bar, a combination of tradition, skill and sheer love of the music.
