One of the most exciting LIve gigs I ever witnessed in Ireland was by Moving Hearts at the Olympia in Dublin back in C '82. The sheer energy and instrumental firepower have rarely been equalled by ANY Irish band -Trad , Rock or otherwise! Has it been mentioned that Mick Hanly also sang with the band in '83?. Van Morrison (a huge fan of the band) used them on some tracks on one of his albums at the time. I agree with the postings above - their all-instro album 'The Storm' (Tara) is a timeless monument to their unique musical vision. Thanks for the wonderful music, you guys.!! PJC
