Iarla Ó Lionaird - I Could Read The Sky
Iarla Ó Lionáird is best known as lead vocalist for Afro-Celt Sound System - but also as one of Ireland's premier sean
nós singers, acclaimed for his fresh interpretations of traditional music from very ancient Gaelic roots with a daringly
innovative, modern sensibility. As composer and arranger for this album, he drew on a roster of Irish All Stars, including
Sinéad O'Connor (heard here in a duet with Ó Lionáird), Seattle-based fiddler Martin Hayes, Pogues member Tommy
McMenanam, concertina master Noel Hill, and others.
