A double CD with all the music from the long-ago BBC TV series about how the music of Ireland was carried across the sea to other countries eg. America etc. when there was a mass evacuation of Ireland because of poverty mainly. The music they took with them at that time influenced the musicians of their adoptive country and they were, in turn, also influenced by music of America, England, Canada etc. The return to Ireland, perhaps generations later, of the music, then reinfluenced the Irish music of the homeland. The CD's show the wide variety & style of new 'Irish' music - folk, rock, bluegrass, choral, classical music, ballads, pop-type music etc etc. A brilliant CD with some excellent music and a little booklet with more detail. I bought the records when the TV programme was first shown, perhaps 15 years ago and I still enjoy the music now.

Taken from the BBC series on Irish music this is a 2 CD collection with a booklet which gives details of all the songs.It opens with an instrumental called after the date it was recorded-April the 3rd and includes a few token Americans and Scots amongst the Irish artists and possibly one token Englishman in Elvis Costello who is of Irish descent.
The Costello track is the most un Irish one here as it ties in with his chamber music experiments.
Here you can see how Irish music influenced America's country music right from the beginning-a belief held by many like the Everly Brothers and Emmylou Harris who are both heard here
