Angels Candles

Maire Breatnach

We heard a couple of selections from this CD on the RTE February 2 Mo Cheol Thu program and we were immediately enthralled. In looking it up, we were surprised to learn that the CD has been out for several years. Better coming to it late than never!

A favorite in the Haggerty household!

One of our favorite CDs which includes the famous song about Colcannon. Listen to samples on amazon now.
Click here for Black Family

We own several of Carole Thompson's CD's and never tire of listening to them. This collection is particularly beautiful, from the opening strains of Bonny Portmore to the last note of O'Carolan's Farewell.

Rose of Tralee
The Séan O’Neill Band

In addition to the title track, this great collection also ifeatures other romatic Irish rose favorites including My Lovely Rose of Clare, My Lovely Irish Rose, Rose of Akkendale, Rose of Mooncoin and more.

Woman of the House

The all-female Irish-American ensemble, on their second release for the Rounder label, have fashioned an uncluttered, forward-looking yet tradition-based and unabashedly sentimental set. Recorded between Scotland, where producer Phil Cunningham resides, and the United States, with guest stints from Irish accordionist Sharon Shannon, British folk star Kate Rusby and Karen Matheson of the Scottish supergroup Capercaille, this may well be their personal best to date. Amazon review.

Irish Ways
by Ron Kavana

Six years in the making and accompanied by his regular Alias Band and a bevy of top-drawer guest musicians, including Brian McNeill, Gino Lupari, Shane Mac Gowan, Terry Woods, Paddy Keenan and Niamh Parsons, Ron Kivana has produced a remarkable 4-CD box set and book which tells the story of Ireland through songs, music and poetry.

The Clancy Brothers andTommy Makem
in Person at Carnegie Hall

This is just one example of literally ten pages of CDs, cassettes, even vinyl recordings available on amazon. From all accounts, this is one of their best - mostly because it's live and they are never better than when they are on stage performing before a live audience.

St Patrick's Cathedral

The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St. Patrick is the full official name and, according to tradition, St Patrick baptised several converts at a well in what is now a park adjacent to the cathedral. To commemorate this event, a small wooden church was built. In 1901, the well was rediscovered and an ancient granite stone, marked with a Celtic cross which covered the well, was moved into the cathedral. The parish church on this site was one of four Celtic churches in Dublin and was known as St Patrick's in Insula - on the island - as it was built on an island between two branches of the River Poddle which still flows under the cathedral.
