If we read correctly these tracks come from two sessions six years apart, recorded in different Irish pubs with slightly different players making up The Lahawns. The one consistent base is Andrew and his accordion.
So it took a wee while to put together. No real shame in that.
Was it worth it?
OH YES!
Enjoy a real Irish pub music session.
