CladdaghRecords is very proud to announce the release of a great recording of modern Irish poetry, written by one of contemporary IrelandÂ’s greatest poets.
This performance was recorded live for an audience in London in 1973, when the ghosts of the past were again beginning to disturb Ulster and the rest of Ireland.
CladdaghRecords is proud to have published this new recording and we are sure that in time it will be held in the same high regard as our other classic recordings.
