Bio:
"Faoilean" was recorded by Triona (ex Skara Brae, 1691),
Mairead (ex Skara Brae) &
Micheal (ex Skara Brae, Monroe/Celtic Folkweave) O'Domhnaill
and Donal Lunny (ex Planxty,
Emmet Spiceland) in 1975
for the Pan Celtic Song Contest in Killarney. It was released as a split single with
Clannad by Gael Linn the same year, and also surfaced on the From Lagan
To Lee compilation LP. It is the only known recording by this quartet [the literal translation of Ceathrar is Quartet],
though Lunny and the O'Domhnaill's went on to form The Bothy Band the same year.
Highly recommended.
