The Shannon Castle Entertainers, Caitriona Yeats, Douglas Gunn - Mediaeval Banquet Bunratty Castle

Review by Christopher Drifter

The album "Mediaeval Banquet Bunratty Castle" by Shannon Castle Entertainers, Caitriona Yeats, and Douglas Gunn is a delightful collection of traditional Irish music that transports the listener back in time to the Middle Ages. The album features a variety of instruments, including the harp, fiddle, and flute, as well as the beautiful voices of Yeats and Gunn.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "The Butterfly/ The Musical Priest/ The Blackthorn Stick," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The tracks that follow are a mix of traditional Irish songs and instrumentals, all performed with skill and passion by the talented musicians.

The standout tracks on the album include the hauntingly beautiful "Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór," which showcases Yeats' stunning vocals and the delicate plucking of the harp, and the rousing "The Rocky Road to Dublin," which features lively fiddle playing and spirited singing from Gunn.

Summary by Christopher Drifter

"Mediaeval Banquet Bunratty Castle" is a must-have album for anyone who loves traditional Irish music. The musicianship is top-notch, and the songs and instrumentals are sure to transport the listener to a bygone era. Highly recommended.
