The breakthrough album from the band considered to be one of the premier groups in Irish traditional music. Joined by Dublin fiddler Paul O'Shaughnessy, Altan with this album have augmented their fiddles to two, creating a myriad of possibilities and reinforcing an already unequaled drive.

With the virtuosity of Frankie Kennedy's flute, Mark Kelly's guitar, Ciaran Curran's bouzouki, the pure heaven of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh's vocals, and Phil Cunningham's production, it is no wonder that this album has been hailed as one of the great classic albums of this genre.

Featuring Frankie Kennedy, Mark Kelly, Ciaran Curran, Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, Paul O'Shaughnessy, Phil Cunningham, Colm Murphy, Donal Lunny, Steve White and Marie Askin.
