Beo
by Pádraic Keane, Páraic Mac Donnchadha & Macdara Ó Faoláin
supported by 127 fans who also own “Lord Galway's Lamentation”
Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too.

Not Before Time...39 Years in the Making
by Páraic Mac Donnchadha
supported by 75 fans who also own “Lord Galway's Lamentation”
🍻 I'm speechless. I can't even pronounce the guy's name (I'm working on that 🤣🤣), let alone comment on how brilliant his playing is. Not only that, but the physical album is the most substantial CD case and booklet I've ever held, outside of an OH MY GIRL album. Yes, I'm proud of myself for referencing k-pop while commenting on an Irish trad record. Anyone searching for tenor banjo on BC could stop here and be entirely fulfilled, although I encourage you to search for others as well. ⚡🔥🪕🔥⚡

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.

“Buile” uses an electronic backdrop to explore songs old and new from the Celtic tradition.

The One After It
by Carlos Sweeney McCartin
supported by 69 fans who also own “Lord Galway's Lamentation”
Superbly played music with a great ‘live’ feel. Love Donal Lunny’s bouzouki the connection between fiddle and flute and the spot-on production and recording. Love it! Hope you lads go on to do loads more.
