There were no lyrics, however. I could offer that Croí Cróga means Brave Heart. Where's George Seto and Áine? Brían |

They seem to me to be overly influenced by the recent 'Pop-Celtic',easy-listening stuff that Wolfgang (and others) decry even if they haven't yet descended to putting: a)shamrocks, b)round towers, c)wolfhounds(saving your presence, Wolf) or d) all of the above on the cover. As a moderately good Irish speaker I listened but could not make out the words. Maybe the listener (I almost said 'consumer') isn't really expected to bother or am I too critical, after all I can't make out the lyrics of many pop songs in English either?! |
