Description
Danú was founded as a lark in 1996 by a bunch of session chums who heard that if they called themselves a band they could perform at a festival in Brittany. Since then they have been hailed as one of the most captivating Irish traditional music groups to have emerged in the last 10 years. This, their sixth album, ripples with exuberant instrumental muscle but also with keen compositional savvy, a sublime sense of melodic space and a deep understanding of the music's idiomatic nuances. The CD also features lovely vocals by the acclaimed Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, including Bob Dylan’s “Farewell Angelina� and Paul Brady’s “Follow On,� as well as fine traditional songs. And, of course, Danú’s powerful renditions of reels and jigs in brilliant ensemble settings.
Tracks: High Hills / Follow On / Boy In The Gap / Seanduin / Barn Dance / Farewell Angelina / Galway Set / Calinde / Kilfanor / Only 19 / Gerry Set / Pots & Kettles.
UK tour dates April 23-30, details to be announced.
