  • Rolling in the Ryegrass is from a concert recording called "Seven Years of Listening"

    I think. Possibly I gave you the one from Turas Go Tir Na nOg, but I don't think so. I'll have to listen.

  • This experiment encompasses all tastes, so I'll take that congratulations.

    Nick, I updated the "album" info so it's correct. Thanks!

  • If you like that, it's possible there's some hope for you!

    Just kidding. What I meant to say is, if you like that, you should check out his myspace, and listen to the samples of tracks from his new album. It's got a Penguin Cafe/soundscape/ummm... thing going that's pretty neat, I think.

    Since it surprised Robyn, I might point out that Coaimhin is only 27 or 28.

  • I should also check my spelling: Caoimhín, not Coaimhín. (Pronounced "kwee-veen", but his mom calls him Kevin).
