about

The second album from the ground breaking 1920's inspired Band At The Racket. It harks back to the era of Irish-American ceili bands which mixed traditional instruments with saxophones and clarinets, In short, great tunes and nostalgic songs, brilliantly arranged and performed.

John Carty (fiddle, banjo), Brian McGrath (banjo, piano, keyboards), Seamus O'Donnell (flute, saxophone, vocals), Garry O'Briain (guitar, mandocello, piano), Brid Dooley (vocals)

2001. Recorded in Boyle and Longford

In Flow

Good man Jack! Really beautiful music - both your own playing and your recording work: those gorgeous albums from Aidan Connolly, Tony McMahon, etc etc, and that amazing tune from Aoife Ní Bhriain. Most highly recommended for lovers of trad or anyone who appreciates real music - it's just astounding what these musicians can do. To my ears Raelach records has some of the best trad to be found out there musicstillspeaks

"B"
by Cormac Begley

supported by 4 fans who also own “Mirth-making Heroes”

Absolutely love that deep concertina sound. And the range of expression that Cormac brings out through this instrument, well beyond the intentions of the designers or makers of these instruments. And, feel sorry for his poor bellows and reeds. He has to do a lot of personal repair on them. Cormac's album design and presentation are beautiful works of art as well. See him in concert if you can. You can really feel those bass notes resonate through a hall. balinsky
