I have already posted this on the SS but it is a GREAT find.

Some of the tracks stop and start the first time through on my computer, but they seem to be alright after that.

I was at Les Yeux Noirs this year and at Altan and I saw Richard Thompson but not at the Square

I saw the Peatbog Faeries and Old Blind Dogs last year. Oh this is so good they have full length tracks for you to hear

Heh, Fiona, I really appreciate it. It is different, and familiar at the same time.

10 out of 10

Just to say, Altan's singer had lost her voice that night so you are not getting a true flavour - they are great instrumentalists but it is also an integral part of their style that she has an amazing voice. Mary Black is good but it was a scratch stand in and the ones she sang are not her songs and she didn't know the words. Don't judge it too harshly - she did a good job. But it was not quite Altan. Still an amazing concert though
