VARIOUS: THE OLD PLAID SHAWL - SONGS OF FRANCIS FAHY
An album for amateurs of parlour Irish songs from the early 1900s, of which Francis Fahy was one of the best composers. Singers like, Seamus O'Donnell (At the Racket), Dolores Keane, John Faulkner, Tony Small, and others contribute their vocal talents, while musicians like Nollaig Casey (fiddle), John Carty (banjo), Brian McGrath (piano), and Garry O'Briain (guitar, mandocello, piano) participate in rendering O'Briain's lush arrangements which, for once, are absolutely on the money.
