Holy shit we just saw Solas, one of the greatest Irish bands in the world today, and it was amazing. The button accordion player, Mick McAuley, was gracious enough to have his pick taken with Heather. They were fast, accurate, extremely fun, and soulful in their performance. I could have listened to them the whole night.
This first tune is a bit more 'modern' than their set tonight, but it is a better recorded number than I found on Youtube. The set tonight was extremely traditional, thoroughly rehearsed, and utterly fantastic.
Here is a good old fashioned sit in with what they really, truly sound like.
Wow, I would have loved their music! Hope they come back to Harvest Fest...
