Nyahh Records presents this compilation of singers, which has been on the back boiler for some time! Inspired by the song collecting of Alan Lomax, this compilation brings together two generations of singers from all across the island of Ireland. Some of the songs previously appear on albums, but the rest were recorded by the singer themselves on their phones to give the song a real and raw effect that brings an authentic feel and immediacy to the songs. A long-standing tradition in Irish culture, singing has taken place in pubs and private homes all over the country since the 13th Century and has been a way to share and keep the music alive, passing it down to younger generations. It is considered to be an aural tradition, as a lot of these songs would not have been written down. Featuring Conor O'Kane, Aoife Hammond, Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Michael Frank Ó Confhaola, Méabh Meir, Rosie Stewart, Ruth Clinton, Fionnuala Maxwell, Nell Ní Chroinin, and Thomas McCarthy.
