I've been enjoying this lovely CD recently. The tunes are quite polished, moderate in tempo and dynamics. Makes a nice change from your rough ceilidh band recordings.

Here's a question. The tune "Ni Fheicim..." is the same melody, note for note, as Stephen Foster's "Gentle Annie". What do you suppose is the reason? Are the Irish now borrowing from the Americans -- that would be a switcheroo!
