FIRST HEARING:
The USA based septet (7-piece) open on reels with quite an 'old-time' sound but that may well be down to the instrumental line-up.
The players are well known soloists and session men from the Irish-American music scene hiding under the 'Doon Ceili' banner.
They probably felt a bit of a dance coming on and got together for a collective blast.
More strength to them, this is a wee belter.
