This release from Clo-Iar Chonnachta features the award-winning singer, flute player and piper from near Spiddal in South Connemara. Unaccompanied songs in Gaelic and English alternate with nicely executed instrumentals, on which O'Fatharta lilts or plays flute or uilleann pipes with other local musicians like Johnny Connolly and Micheal Deairbi O'Fatharta on melodeon or Neansai Ni Choisdealbha on flute. Excellent traditional music.
