Lunasa - The Kinnitty Sessions

(May 2004) 11 tracks: Stolen Purse * Ballyogan * Punch * The Dimmers * Island Paddy * Sean In The Fog * Bulgarian Rock * The Wounded Hussar * The Walrus * Maids In The Kitchen * Tie The Bonnet.

Recorded in Kinnitty Castle, Co Offaly, Ireland in 2003, this is a typically fine Lunasa performance of great arrangements and virtuoso playing.

Lunasa flirt through a superb session of eleven tracks. Such good old trads as Sporting Paddy, Trip To Windsor and Brendan McMahon’s Reel rub shoulders merrily with Djinovsko Horo from Bulgaria, Split Rock by Kevin Burke, and a rake of tunes by the boys of the band.

Accomplished Irishry itself.

"A dazzling re-assertion of individual and collective strengths... Lunasa at their edgy best, taking chances, igniting off each other, and enjoying the craic." (The Irish Echo)
