"Ballu lestru" basically means "swift dance" (similar to Italian "ballo lesto")

Brother Ian!!! I've been listening to the FDN series predominantly for the Irish trad ballad knowledge and tunes, but i have to say, this track gave me deep remembrance. Thanks for these wild cards man, it's great to break it up sometimes..

Episode L was recorded in a parking lot aka car park on the outskirts of Austin, Texas in the sweltering heat. Join me as I attempt to articulate what it's like to reach the 50th episode of Fire Draw Near. This episode features tracks that are actually new, tracks that are new to me and tracks that I hope are new to you.
