Mollie McCarthy-The Road to Ballymac-The Linen Cap, performed by Craobh Rua (www.craobhrua.com) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org) concert, Takoma Park, MD, USA on April 6, 2011.

Craobh Rua (pronounced CRAVE ROO-AH) translates from Irish to "Red Branch", a name that is well known in Celtic history from the Red Branch Knights of Ulster. Based in Belfast, their music has delighted audiences and earned them wide acclaim and recognition. They are now regarded around the world as one of the finest ambassadors of Irish traditional music. Craobh Rua�s impeccable musicians bring their own individual experience to the group and fuse their talents to bring life to a wide array of instruments such as banjo, mandolin, fiddle, uilleann pipes, tin whistle, guitar and vocals. Craobh Rua takes a refreshing, unpretentious but uncommonly skilled run at some of the greatest music in the world.
