Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great value.......2004-11-19

This album has many great tracks.
Listen to the samples of some of my favourites;
Caillerch an Airgid
Fhir a Bhata
Ye Jacobites
Black Velvet Band
Victoria
Carron Lough Bay
The Rocky Road
The Curragh
Henry Joy
The Lambs on the green hills

But I hasten to add that these are just my favourites I don't think there is a bad track on this collection.

There is something about irish folk music that grabs the heart.
