The False Start, Máirtín de Cógáin, 2005
An excellent album of purely traditional
songs (and one story) from a purely traditional singer.
Máirtín de Cógáin is a 2-time Irish National Storytelling Competition winner who comes from West Cork, where traditional music and storytelling thrive. His gorgeous voice echoes eerily of the late great Luke Kelly (The Dubliners), yet Mairtin's choice of songs is markedly his own. Thanks to Mairtin for carrying on the song tradition!
