ALBUM INFO
With two discs and 32 songs, Orange & Green is an outstanding set of Irish, British, and American folk music. With the first disc being comprised of a spirited live set, the listener gets the treat of hearing the revitalists interact with the excited crowd and give background on the songs they've chosen. The duo coax an amazing diversity of textures out of their wide range of instruments and generally sound as if they are using a whole backup band. On the second disc of studio recordings occasional backup musicians are employed, with the result being a very full and accomplished sound. A majority of the material covered on both discs is in the rambunctious Irish pub style popularized in the United States by the Clancy Brothers, but Fannigan's Isle give equal time to Kingston Trio-type arrangements, bagpipe instrumentals, hornpipes, reels, and jigs. Everything is done in a true jovial spirit of reverence and adds up to make Fannigan's Isle one of the foremost interpreters of traditional tunes.

ALBUM INFO
Fannigan's Isle's second album of predominantly Irish tunes is an eclectic twist on boisterous traditional folk songs. Incorporating mandolin, cittern, tin whistles, bouzouki, bodhran, and bagpipes among others, this is a truly first-rate rendering that is almost impossible not to like. Drawing on a few Clancy Brothers standards, like "The Moonshiner," "Johnny McEldoo, and "Whiskey in the Jar," Fannigan's Isle always maintains the spirit and charm of the originals. With most of the original Clancy Brothers now singing in the big pub in the sky, this brand of infectious sing-alongs and bittersweet ballads is in safe hands with Fannigan's Isle.
