Century
Artist The Kilfenora Ceili Band

A celebration of 100 years of one of Ireland's best known and loved Ceili Bands. This is a fantastic collection of tunes played with spirit and life, with a mixture of reels, polkas, marches, jigs and a two-step.

The ten-piece band features: three fiddles - Anne Rynne, Pat Lynch and Annemarie McCormack; two flutes - Anthony Quigney and Garry Shannon; two sqeezeboxes - Tim Collins and his wife, Claire Griffin; banjo and leader - John Lynch; drums - Sean Griffin; and piano - Fintan McMahon.

"Does this album bear repeated listening? Yes. Do they sound like a céilí band? Definitely yes. Carson when he wrote of an unknown recording he heard years ago said it was "palpably live, and alive, and full of personality." Ditto for the Kilfenora's "Century". After all isn't that what we’d wish any institution that's clocked up the metric tonne!" Seán Laffey
