The slimming down of burns to downloads to free up space has reached the Folk/Singer Songwriter shelves with two albums that were copied from the library back in the day when you could take out CDs
Two Irish ladies one Northern and one Southern are the latest acts to be considered for down sizing.
I have After the Morning a 2006 album by Cara Dillon along with a burn from the library of 2003's Sweet Liberty which was produced and recoded by her husband Seth Lakeman
There Were Roses is song about sectarianism written by Tommy Sands which featured on the TV series Billy Connelly's World Tour of England. Ireland and Wales TV series
Accordionist Sharon Shannon from County Clare in the Republic of Ireland is an artist I have seen on a few occasions mainly, but not exclusively, as part of Celtic Connections
I have a good few of her albums on CD and a burn of 2007's Renegade.. She is joined by Mike McGoldrick,Jim Murray and Dezi Murray for what is an album of traditional Irish music.
Given that Ireland grinds to a halt on Good Friday I thought it would be good to feature songs by these two artists today
Cara Dillon - There Were Roses


Saw Sharon with assorted pals having a wild session just before Christmas 2024. Great fun.
