From The Session - Advert for Concert (2006?):

Géill Slí: Labhrás Draper hails from the Ring Gaeltacht in the County Waterford where –for generations - his family kept a pub. His father, Labhrás, was a singer of note both for the fine quality of his baritone voice, as well as his honest connection to songs in the Irish language. In the 1960s, Gael Linn issued an LP featuring four (two to a side) of the father's singing. While Labhrás, the son, is a fine singer in his own right, he life's path has drawn him into the horseman's life, where he is acknowledged both for his hands-on skills and his understanding of the business of racing"

Is it the referred to father's LP on Gael Linn?
