John Aherne is a native of West Limerick, and over
the years he has established a fine reputation as a ballad singer
and "character". On this CD we have endeavoured to capture
the enthusiasm, gutsy singing, and spontaneity which emanates from
this man on the stage. John gives us a very representative cross-section
of the worlds of balladry. There are old songs and new. Two of the
songs, Grá MO Chroí and Spancel Hill belong to the
dream category, a type very popular in the nineteenth century ballad
sheets. Master McGrath celebrates the famous greyhound who won the
Waterloo Cup for Ireland in 1869. There is one song in the Irish
language, Seán Ó Duibhir A'Gleanna, one of our great
tragic songs, lamenting the passing of the Gaelic way of life. Fiddler's
Green is a new song about an old fisherman.
Good listening and join in the choruses
