I've just finished producing and mixing the new album by Le Chéile.

The 1960s and ‘70s were golden years for traditional Irish music in London when musicians played before packed audiences and sparked the revival which went on to spread back home and around the globe. Le Chéile were the cult trad Irish group of 1970s London, producing some of the most memorable recordings of the time. The 1970s album Lord Mayo, was reissued on CD in 2006 and to coincide with that release the surviving original members master fiddler Danny Meehan, Liam Farrell (banjo), John Roe (piano) and Kevin Boyle (guitar), having recruited flautist Paul Gallagher and Andy Martyn (box), finally reunited

I was asked to record and produce the new comeback album which was a real honour considering the musical legacy of the band:)

Here's a snippet from one of the tracks from the forthcoming album; Mollie Brannigan, sang by the legendary Danny Meehan.  

I think this album really captures the spirit of the band and I'm very proud to have worked on it:)
