To everyone who thinks 'i have the previous six' here's the reason to buy this one: the re-recordings of some old numbers is astonishing. Slight alterations and great to listen too.

First time buyer?: be prepared to buy another six cd's from these lads. Their attitude to playing music is much more professional than a whole lot of todays socalled stars.

Hoping you all enjoy this cd (again)!!

The music that Lunasa plays is so much like the small town pub music my wife and I heard on our last trip to IRE. We trekked all over the country, bad roads and all, to visit the small very local pubs- finding a grandmother holding a baby while she sips a pint and sings a song. Loved the music.

Lunasa is a remarkably talented group of instrumentalists that present beautifully arranged traditional Irish music on traditional instruments that somehow sounds modern at the same time. Their music is the type that you can play softly in the background or crank up at full volume depending on your mood.
This collection was my first introduction to them and I have since picked up a few other CDs all of which are very good. Based on my own experience if you haven't heard them this is a good place to start.

If you like Celtic music, then this is the CD for you. It has everything from bagpipes to tinwhistles and bodhrans, too.The CD was shipped within a week of ordering,but the only downside was a broken spindle in the jewelbox. Other than that, I listen to it a couple times a week.
