Name: Buachaillí Bána by Socks in the Frying Pan
Duration: 4 min 2 s
Description: 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.

It is thanks to the great singer and song collector Sean Corcoran that I have this song. It can be found in James N. Healy's book 'Irish Ballads and Songs of the Sea'.
I must also thank Jack Talty for taking the time to record it in his studio last year and Marcel Cornu for making the upcoming video to accompany the song. 
This is the first in a collection of recordings that i'll be posting over the coming months in preparation for my solo album. Hope you enjoy.

Captain Thompson

I wrote this song about a great friend of my dads who I'd always heard epic stories about while growing up. When I finally met him the cancer had nearly taken him, but i could still see he was still very strong at heart. To Big Finbar Pender.

If You Only Knew

Welcome Poor Paddy Home

This song was written to try and capture the depths of despair experienced in a mental breakdown.  The song is a hopeful one.

Wide Eyed & Lying (Mic Christopher cover)

I wrote this song about a good friend of my dads who I had grown up hearing amazing stories about. A hero of a man. When I finally met him the cancer had taken hold. He bought me my first pint and his impression on me was lasting. He died a few months later. For Finbar Pender.

If You Only Knew (Acoustic)

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.

One,Two,Three

Songwriter and Ennis native Peter Keane penned 'The Gathering' in 1999 following years spent playing the vibrant music scene in New York and Boston.   The song reflects an emigrant's absence from his homeland and looking forward to a home-coming in Ireland. His ambition was always to professionally produce the song and make it available to a wider audience. In mid 2012 Peter approached the Gathering Clare 2013 Steering Group for support and advice.  The Steering Group instantly connected with the song and adopted it as one of its major initiatives for the Gathering 2013 year .  
The song is a celebration of Clare people all over the world and reinforces the fact that County Clare is the undisputed home of traditional music.
Emerging young local group Socks in the Frying Pan was selected as the group to perform the song. With their recently released debut album and a growing popularity both at home and abroad the group led by vocalist Aodán Coyne gave the song their own interpretation including harmonies and instrumentation from brothers Shane and Fiachra Hayes.
Produced by Paul Byrne of Optophonic, the song is now available to promote the county in national and international markets. Available on iTunes.

The Gathering

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.
