Jig Away The Donkey (CD)
by
Gerry O'Connor, Gabriel McArdle, Martin Quinn
The music of south Ulster is a wonderfully distinctive set of accents, styles, sounds and customs which greatly enhance the traditional music spectrum in Ireland. Much of it has been in constant use through the revival years since the 1950s, but discreetly so, for it has not had the cause or the occasion to trumpet its existence.In this album, Gerry, Martin and Gabriel present a celebration of carefully chosen elements of the South Ulster heritage. The recording invokes the charm and ease of past aesthetic geniuses whose sounds still today have challenge, meaning and artistic satisfaction for audiences in the 21st century
