about

It is great to see that we've reached the stage at which young musicians can tastefully dip into the rich tapestry of Irish traditional music and bring it forth to the world arena with pride and confidence. The Fuchsia Band is the epitome of such an ensemble, who with the excellent sound engineering skills of Tomás Mulcahy, have produced a fine CD for both ears and feet.

What's on exhibit here is a varied and soulful mix of tunes, airs, songs and stories. Reels and polkas, featuring Eoin Verling's accordion and Brian Mac Giolla Choda's banjo, are interpreted with the lightness of touch associ-ated with the very best of Sliabh Luachra music. Mícheál O hÍfearnáin's handsome rendition of Sliabh Geal gCua reinforces the impression that these four men have gone back to the well more often than countless numbers of their peers.

Added to these, the 'Fuchsia Boys' have considerable vocal gifts, peppering this album with songs from the ballad and folk traditions, featuring the excellent solo voices of Mac Giolla Choda and Máirtín De Cógáin. De Cógáin extends his abilities, not just as a writer, penning the catchy 'Grá Dá Raibh', but as a seanchaí rounding out the CD nicely end unobtrusively with ‘Scéal Chú Chulainn'. In other words, 'Grá Dá Raibh' is a sure fire entertaining mix!
