Sleeve Notes

The spirit of modern Ireland can be heard in the reels and songs of Stockton's Wing. Their wonderful blend of lively dance tunes and Mike Hanrahan's thoughtful warm songs sets them apart from the rest.

This essential collection features a range of electric jigs and reels, The Master's Daughter and The Humours Of Clonmult are overflowing with energy, with the fiddle, banjo and flute vying for a position out front. Mike Hanrahan's memorable songs When You Smile and Some Fools Cry also feature on the album. Stockton's Wing have made great music over the years, and The Very Best of Stockton's Wing is a timely reminder of that fact.
