This psychedelic folk classic was recorded in 1974, and has gone on to become one of the rarest records ever issued in Ireland. A glorious mixture of catchy melodies, soaring harmonies and biting acid guitar, it’s presented here complete with a 12-page booklet featuring rare photographs and detailed sleevenotes, as well as six bonus tracks (including demos, non-album 45s and the soundtrack to the work’s original broadcast on Irish television), making it the most comprehensive edition of The Children Of Lir ever assembled.

"Mellow and fragile one moment, jagged and rocking the next, but melodic throughout" - Record Collector

"Shimmering early 70s folk rock that's as good as Trees, Fairport, Steeleye, Mellow Candle etc." - The Freak Emporium
