Touchdown

Islandbawn

This tune was composed by Soïg Siberil who recorded it on several occasions. We started playing it in the early nineties when Soïg was a member of Orion. When Soïg left the band, Zagreb continued to pop up regularly on our playlist  at concerts and festivals. Thus, this track was selected in 2000 for a compilation album in celebration of the 21st anniversary of the Cork Folk Festival. Other artists appearing on the album were  a.o. Patrick Street, Altan's Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh, Seamus Creagh & Jackie Daly, Mairtin O' Connor & Brendan O' Regan, Jimmy Crowley, Sinead Lohan & Declan Sinnott, Mary Bergin, Mick Hanly, Chris Woods & Andy Cutting, Gerry O 'Connor & Mick Daly, John Spillane, Jimmy MacCarthy, Frank Harte, Begley Sisters, Christy Leahy, Brendan Ring & John Neville, ...

zagreb performed by Orion

I composed these tunes many years ago and recorded them with Orion on the album Restless Home (1998). My friend Nicolas Quemener played whistles and guitar and Donal Lunny guested on bouzouki and bodhran. Trip to Gaza was written on returning of a tour in Palestine.  This very day, besieged Gaza is being bombed again. My thoughts are with the children, women and men of Gaza. Many of the hospitable people we've met over there must be killed or mutilated by ... Many of the houses and places we  stayed in or spent some time must be destroyed ... I strongly believe that all injustice comes to an end, no matter how long it takes.

Restless Home

Reel Of Notes / Trip To Gaza

Title track of our 1993 album with the lovely voice of Céline 't Hooft, who sadly passed away this week. A great musician and an adorable human being, she will stay in our heart forever. Tender hugs Céline, we'll miss you.
