Live on RTE Fleadh Programme 2013 - Derry

We've decided to start uploading ALL our tracks from our first album onto Soundcloud in preparation for the release of our new one! If you're interested in pre-ordering the new Socks album you can do that right here - http://kck.st/17NnLnf

We got this song off Cyril O'Donoghue, a great vocalist and bouzouki player living in Co. Clare. It's a tragic love song set during the Napoleonic Wars.

Bonny Light Horseman

Here is the 3rd track off our new album. The first hornpipe is the melody of an old Irish song 'The Pride of Petravore' that Shane learned from Enda Scahill of the amazing 'We Banjo 3'. The second reel we learned from Enda's brother Fergal called 'The Lads of Laois'. The final tune 'The sailor on the Rock' is a well-known traditional tune.

Spaceships And Frying Pans

This is our first original track recorded. Aodán wrote it about a secret Irish organisation in the 18th century who defended tenant farmer rights from oppressive landlords.

Buachaillí Bána

Track 4 off Socks in the Frying Pan's self-titled debut CD.

Our album launch will be taking place at the Ennis Trad Festival, 8th November at 8pm in The Temple Gate Hotel.

(Musical arrangement by Socks in the Frying Pan, reel composed by Shane Hayes)

Aoife Johnston's Freakout

This is track 10 off our new Album. It's a beautiful song written by Tim O'Brien.

Foreign Lander

Aodán got this song off a great singer called Helan Flaherty. It was originally written by Steve Tilston. It deals with a ‘Billy the kid’ type of story where a young Irish lad heads off to America in search of a fortune but ends up in trouble due to his love for gambling, fighting and the lovely ladies! (Reminds me of a certain member of the Socks!)  But what he loved most of all was the music, hence the name of the song.

The Slipjig and Reels

The band comprises brothers Shane and Fiachra Hayes on accordion and fiddle/banjo and accompanied by Aodán Coyne on guitar and vocals. This young trad trio from Country Clare blend Irish traditional melodies with and innovative rhythmic and melodic garnish. These socks are audibly palatable!
 
Having gained a fan-base from four years of gigging around the west of Ireland, this exciting group have recently started branching out and have been well received for their modern traditional style and energetic approach to music. This, combined with an acoustic musical interplay, three-part harmony and an obvious love for live performance, compliments the traditional essence of both tune and songs in a fresh and entertaining way.
 
The CD itself offers a dozen lovingly worked tracks which the lads are eager to showcase both on this album and at their musically charged gigs.
