"THE ROSELAND BARNDANCE"

Hello Folks,

Great news, North Cregg's latest album "The Roseland Barndance" has just been announced as Best Vocal/Instrumental Album of the Year by LiveIreland.com

When announcing the winners, the Irish news & events website said of the album...

"There are few, if any, bands that can be more relied on to produce wonderful magic on every selection. North Cregg are at the top of their form with this album. Long may they reign!! In many ways, this is the most eagerly anticipated Livie Award each year, here on LiveIreland. There could be no better recipient. Up Cregg! Up Cork!!!"

Thanks LiveIreland!

The band also claimed the same award four years ago with "Summer At My Feet". We're chuffed!

Profile:

Ten years on from the birth of one of Ireland's best traditional music groups, North Cregg continue to produce some of the freshest and finest sounds to be heard in Irish Music today.

Rooted in the vibrant traditional music of their native County Cork, North Cregg embraces musical influences from around the world to create one of the most distinctive and charismatic voices in Irish music.

The stunning vocals of Claire Anne Lynch mesmerise with beautifully crafted interpretations of contemporary and traditional Irish gems. Accordionist and Master of Ceremonies, Christy Leahy, leads the way with spirited tunes alongside the dazzling fiddle and banjo playing of Liam Flanagan. Groove masters Ciaran Coughlan on swing piano and Martin Leahy, on drums and guitar, create one of the tightest and hottest rhythm sections in Irish music.

Together, the North Cregg experience is a finely tuned engine packed with humour, spontaneity and, above all, great music!

With past appearances at prestigious music events such as Glastonbury Festival, Milwaukee Irish Fest, Tønder Festival Denmark, Cambridge Festival, Celtic Connections Glasgow and hundreds more besides, North Cregg are one of the most popular live acts in the world of folk music today.

The band have produced four critically acclaimed and award winning albums to date. Their latest and finest album, THE ROSELAND BARNDANCE has just been released on the Greentrax Label.

Barbara Allen is excellent! (as usual) I guess I'll have to have that now, too. Lovely voice, and an exceptional band. It just doesn't get any better than that (but I know you will out do yourselves again!)
