Ireland's Finest Various RTE . . .
THIS title has perhaps pre-empted the Christmas market slightly, considering it featured on RTE during last year's festive season. It's a "who's who" of Irish musical talent but in the most all- encompassing way . . . from Finghin Collins to Sharon Shannon, James Galway to The Chieftains. The recording is taken live at a 25th anniversary celebration of the National Concert Hall and to this end proceeds of this title go towards the NCH Outreach & Education Programme. All in all, this is a light-hearted Irish "hooley" and in that respect, probably the best and most expansive Irish compilation album on the market.
