Recorded at The Gathering Festival, Killarney, Ireland on 24.02.08

The Gathering festival caters for traditional music enthusiasts with concerts featuring Ireland's top groups, instrument workshops on a variety of instruments and informal late-night sessions.

Dance fans are not left out either with workshops on set-dancing and sean-nós dancing by day and a céilí each night.

The week also features a singers concert, a major lecture, a schools 'outreach' programme and a tour to Sliabh Luachra region.

Mairtin was one of the main musical forces behind the now legendary "Riverdance" phenomenon, having previously, through his work with De Dannan, Midnight Well, Skylark and as a solo artist, quite simply gone where no Irish accordion player had gone before .He is one of the most respected and best loved musicians ever to emerge from the country.

Cathal Hayden is a multiple All-Ireland Championship winner, he achieved worldwide recognition as one of the founder members of "Four Men and a Dog". He is one of Ireland's top fiddlers and his solo banjo performances are quite simply, show stopping.

Seamie O'Dowd's musical abilities have become increasingly familiar at international level in recent years. Rooted deeply in the traditional music of Sligo, he has played in many genres of acoustic and electric music. He toured the world for a number of years with Sligo trad.legends, "Dervish" and recently has played at home and abroad with Liam O'Flynn, Matt Molloy and Meteor Award nominee Mary Mc Partlan.
