This is a nice CD. I bought it because I saw them live in Galway and wanted to recall the night. But I must say they were better in person than in this CD. As another reviewer notes, the instrumental tunes are better. But even here, there are times when they seem to jiggle over the road on whether they're more traditional, or more cork-jazz-modern, I don't mean to be deriding that, but there are times where it jars a bit, where I'm confused on the veer the music takes, and I don't catch up. In my movie/poem parlance I have to think and I'm out of it. Still worth a listen. Slan.

This CD is excellent! From the fast paced reels to the slow ballads, there is never dull moment. I recommend this CD to anyone who is looking for some good music.

An energetic CD of Irish music. As you can guess by the name, they are best when playing reels and other instrumentals. While the female singer has a nice voice and some of her maerial is good, other of her songs go to bland, middle of the road pop. Think Mary Black at her most MOR, but with less talent. Having said that, the instrumentals are great. They have somewhat more modern arrangemens than some purists mght like--the use of unusual percussion at some points, but it lends a refreshing newness to the music. Now if they could just do something about the vocal selections.
