Notes
This CD is a selection of songs we have gathered down through the years, some of which we sang as teenagers and others we have learned more recently. We hope you enjoy our choice of songs and tunes. We want to thank James Blennerhassett for his expertise and patience and everyone who contributed to the making of this CD.

2012 release, the first studio album from Irish Folk act The Fureys & Davey Arthur since 1988. Davey had left the band shortly after that '88 release and The Fureys continued to release albums in the subsequent years. Davey rejoined in 2003 and although the band released a live album in 2008, this their first studio recording together in nearly 25 years.
