Roisin Dubh
the emigrants
(GREAT Irish Music)
|
From the lilting sing-a-long "Jolly Beggar" to
the hauntingly mournful "Innisthiar", Roisin Dubh
(Dark Rosaleen), The Emigrants' first CD release,
is a full, fine blend of Celtic tradition amid
contemporary arrangements.
As explained in the liner notes, the title cut
(one of three instrumentals on the album) is the air to
an ancient Gaelic song born of the stormy history
of the beautiful island that is Ireland.
Two selections are medleys of traditional
dance music, and the remaining tunes include songs
of love, freedom, and humor - compelling and
passionate interpretations, all punctuated
with wonderfully harmonizing vocals.
And the fiddle, bodhran, uileann pipes, mandolin,
banjo, flute, whistles, guitar, harmonica,
and keyboards that are so finely displayed on
Roisin Dubh bring us the very soul of Ireland.
The Emigrants are Steve Buckner, Brian Clancy,
Bill Fleming, and Martin Whelan.
Well known in Upstate New York
(where they've been entertaining appreciative
audiences in pubs, clubs, concerts, and festivals for
over two decades), each of these accomplished
musicians brings an obvious love of Irish music to
every lively performance.
The Emigrants are regular entertainers at
The Shannon Pub (in Rochester and Buffalo),
and The Irish Center in Buffalo.
