Description:

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent' Victor Hugo, French Poet & Novelist This memorable work of Micheál Ó hEidhin and his two distinguished collaborators, Charlie Lennon and Steve Cooney, is in the tradition of the ceol sidhe. There is power in this music that speaks to the soul. This has to do partly with the scope and variety of the music but more especially with the spirit and style of the performance. The style is gentle, relaxed, effortless - a hallmark of the true artist. When a member of the Sidhe invited a human to the otherworld, a branch of an apple tree was made to appear, laden with golden apples that when shaken sounded like bells tinkling. The Sidhe would shake the branch and the music it made lured the human away. The beauty of that music had the power to allay fear, to soothe one to sleep, even to cure a sickness or heal a wound. This album was named Album of the Year in the Live Ireland Awards 2012. 'Ceol Sidhe features Steve Cooney, Charlie Lennon, and Michael Hynes on guitar, fiddle and concertina, respectively. There are 19 cuts on the album, each more brilliant than the other. Believe it or not, there are only two sets of reels! This album is adults playing Irish music. Perfectly. Not 305mph, like so many of today's children. If you love Irish traditional music, this is the perfect instrumental album'
