FIRST HEARING:
A fair smattering of the titles are in Gaelic but it opens with a pleasant wee version of 'P Stands For Paddy' before track two goes a touch calypso (yes, in Gaelic).
And this seems to the theme - to take your traditional music styles and 'prepare' them for the world, or should that be the other way around - prepare the world for the Gaelic.
"It's sean-nos Captain! But not as we know it", says Scotty.
Get beamed up to Seoirse O' Dochartaigh. You will be pleasantly surprised.
