Hello everyone,

I'm a new member and I hope to become a regular participant but, for now, can I start my membership by asking if anyone knows anything about The Kells who released the album "English Mariners: Ancient Folks Songs from the British Isles"?

Spotify is a truly wonderful beast but the 'sleeve notes' can be woeful.

All the best
Harry

Thanks GUEST for the reply but kellsband.com is not the same band.

Maybe a review of personnel would distinguish between the two?

Bodhran, Eddie Cotter, Jr.: was he in BOTH bands?
