THE KILFENORA CEILI BAND: LIVE IN LISDOONVARNA
Recorded live at the Royal Spa in Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare, this CDs offers some great dance music--in fact, tracks 1-6 are arranged for a Caledonian Set--by one of the best bands in the business, with the battering and whooping along of the dancers adding to the atmosphere. The CD booklet contains much information about the history of the band, illustrated by old photos of past lineups. A lovely production.
