A lovely madness, the 2004 debut from County AntrimÆs Beoga,
is still one of my favourite trad recordings of all time. With
top class musicianship, great taste in material and a
wonderful ebullience that comes through loud and clear even
within the confines of a studio, the band really only lacked
one thing, and that was a singer. Well, now theyÆve got one.
Hailing from County Limerick, Niamh Dunne has a beautifully
warm, smoky voice that wraps itself snugly around everything
from the upbeat 1920Æs ditty æPlease donÆt talk about me when
IÆm goneÆ, to a spine-tingling cover of Steely DanÆs ÆDirty
WorkÆ, with lovely harmonies from Liam Bradley and Eamon
Murray. SheÆs also a classically trained violinist whose
smooth fiddling is the perfect addition to the existing
four-piece lineup of accordion, percussion, keyboards and
assorted strings. Instrumental numbers include bouncy original
tunes from most of the members, in glorious arrangements
featuring guest appearances on several tracks from the Prague
Philharmonic Orchestra, no less.
MischiefÆ features more original compositions plus a few
surprises from the lads along with newest member, singer and
fiddler, Niamh Dunne
Recommended for any dancer wanting something new and fresh
sounding to practice to! www.irishrecords.com
