Jack Talty and Cormac Begley - Na Fir Bolg "Na Fir Bolg translates as 'men with bellows' or 'men with bellies' - maybe both apply to us. In this recording we wanted to present the music styles of west Clare and west Kerry using a number of concertinas ranging over five octaves. The album was recorded over four days and captures the exceptional natural acoustics of St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church, Galway. We have avoided the use of editing and studio manipulation; what you hear is what you get - warts and all!" --Talty and Begley website. Anglo Concertina |

Various - Short Sharp Shanties, Vol. 1 This is the first of three CDs which record the repertoire of John Short – a.k.a. Yankee Jack – of Watchet, Somerset in England’s West Country, who, in 1914, gave the folk-song collector Cecil Sharp nearly sixty shanties, several in early rare versions. John spent over fifty years working in sailing boats, much of his younger days in deep-water ships, sailing all around the world as a shantyman.

Jeff Warner - Long Time Travelling Jeff says, "My association with the old songs goes back a long way. My father had me up on stage with him, singing “The Old Chisholm Trail,” when I was eight. I got taken along (of necessity) as a boy on some of their later song collecting trips to the mountains and seacoast of North Carolina and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. I'm glad I got to meet rural people for whom traditional song was their main - sometimes only - music. Some of the songs on this album are from those people I met, and got to know better through the recordings they made for my parents. All the others are out of oral tradition, although a couple of them were composed by known authors and then absorbed into the folk. I'm happy to pass them on." Although primarily a vocal recording, there is a substantial amount of concertina backup. Anglo and English concertinas |
