This double CD comprises a set of recordings of genuine Irish traditional music dating from the late 1960s which were published on LP and tape by Gael Linn, in association with Comhaltas Ceoltoirí Éireann.
The two CDs give us a glimpse of the pure style of traditional music as played by the masters in 1968-9. County, local, and individual styles and tunes are given pride of place.
