Sound Samples
An Teach Bán
This guitar tune was composed by Dáithí for old friends in Gaoth Dobhair, Donegal. It was released on the all-instrumental album The Crow in the Sun, in 2007.
Casadh an tSúgáin
Lovely song in Irish from Dáithí's album Lost River, vol. 1, released in 2011. Randal Bays is guest on guitar.
The Dreary Parting
Another track from Lost River, vol. 1, this time a song in English, and a version of 'my dearest dear.' Co-producer John Wright lays down a great bass track.
The Roseville
Composed for dear friends in Minnesota, The Roseville has many folks trying to figure out - just what is this? A slip jig, a reel, a slip reel? Altan recorded Dáithí's composition on Local Ground first, then performed and recorded Fiachra Trench's nimble arrangement with the RTÉ concert orchestra.
