Sleeve Notes

Without a doubt The Jolly Tinkermen are the best folk group in Ireland right now. You only have to listen to this, their first L.P. and there will be no doubt in your mind. The lead singer in the group is Seán Dynes, a tall bearded young man from Dungannon, Norman Hobson plays the fiddle, Pat McDonald smiles and strums the strings and Seán McCluskey strums but only smiles on occasions. He smiled a lot when this L.P. was recorded because the boys are professional in their approach to the business of making good music — and besides, we were out of the recording studios before the 'pubs' closed.
