Big beefy playing and oral tradition song combine to give a showcase to Connemara.
Only the two songs from Maureen Creighan come from archives (1980), the music is a fresh blast of the traditional played with zest by Maureen's family members albeit from different sides of the Atlantic.
Well worth a listen.
