Description
"To Shorten The Winter" is a collection of songs drawn from the traditions surrounding wintertime in Ireland. Joined by friends Dolores Keane, Liam O'Flynn, Steve Cooney and Arty McGlynn, the album includes Tommy's wonderful Irish take on the Christmas spirit.
A traditional Irish treatment of "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" is a humorous nod to the Christmas season enjoyed by all during the long Yuletide nights celebrated in the North of Ireland. The hauntingly beautiful spoken word piece, "A Childhood Christmas" is a trip back in time to the wonder of this magical season.
