Liner notes
This album was recorded live in Cork at Éigse Na Laoi 1995: The Gathering. Like good music which does not want to stop, its end was its beginning. Another round was called, and everyone knew the tune – a tune that spins now like the globe itself, creating a celestial music for all who will listen.

From haunting sean-nós songs to raucous folk explosions, they make music that is both ancient and utterly new: respecting traditions whilst bringing an unconventional energy into the mix. -
