The classic tunes presented in this collection were performed by some of the most influential women in the history of Celtic song, recorded in the mid 1950's to the early 1960's when the revival of Celtic music was in full swing. The sincerity of their interpretations and their persistence in the preservation of these great forms are the reason why these wonderful ancient melodies still survive today and sound as fresh as they do. Featuring Celtic icons Mary O'Hara, Isla Cameron, Joan Clancy, Sarah Makem and more.
