Product Description
As seen on public television.
Absolutely Irish! brings together the brightest stars of traditional Irish music for a once-in-a-lifetime concert that will leave folk music fans stunned by the virtuoso performances.
In April 2007 at the Irish Arts Center in the fabled Hell's Kitchen area of New York City, film maker Paul Wagner and musician and producer Mick Moloney brought some of the finest Irish musicians, singers and dancers in America together for a special one-off concert. All the artists had known one another and played together in various combinations for years, but this was a chance to meet up in an informal situation and simply have fun, make music and dance together. For two days they rehearsed and then put together a magical performance that was filmed for American Public Television and recorded for Compass Records. Absolutely Irish is the product of this astonishingly brilliant, exuberant and joyful celebration of the very best of Irish music, song and dance.
Featuring Mick Moloney, Susan McKeown, John Doyle, Seamus Egan, Eileen Ivers, Karan Casey, Liz Carroll, Joanie Madden, Athena Tergis, Robbie O Connell, Niall O Leary, Darrah Carr, Jerry O Sullivan, Billy McComiskey, Brendan Dolan, Rhys Jones, Tim Collins, Mac Benford, Mike Rafferty and Jo McNamara.

Absolutely Irish October 24, 2008
The cd is tremendous. Every Irish music lover has to own this. Getting all of these performers together in one place may never happen again. I recommend buying this cd whole-heartedly.
Wonderful Irish music from America's finest trad musicians September 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a brilliant live set, organized by Irish-American folklorist and historian Mick Moloney and recorded for public TV in a concert at the Irish Arts Center in New York City. Liz Carroll, Karan Casey, John Doyle, Seamus Egan, Joanie Madden and others join Moloney for a lively tour of various trad styles (from nimble reels and haunting ballads to comic ditties and chunky old-time bluegrass. It's great stuff. If you like Irish trad, you couldn't ask for a better concert than this! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)
