The Bothy Band - Out Of The Wind Into The Sun

(2008 re-release of 1977 recording) 10 tracks: The Morning Star * The Maids Of Mitchelstown * Rip The Calico * The Streets Of Derry * The Pipe On The Hob * The Sailor Boy * The Blackbird * The Strayaway Girl * The Factory Girl * Slides

In the three years the Bothy Band were together, they emerged as one of the exciting bands in Celtic music history.

Although much of their repertoire was rooted in the traditional music of Ireland, their enthusiasm and musical virtuosity set off ripples that continue to be felt.

By the time of this, their third album, there was no doubt that siblings Micheal and Triona, rhythm genius Donal Lunny, piping king Paddy Keenan, flute virtuoso Matt Molloy and brilliant fiddler Kevin Burke stood at the very summit of Celtic music.
