As I Roved Out
Type: CDs
As I Roved Out / Sarah Makem
Irish traditional singer Sarah Makem (1900–1983) of Keady, Co Armagh, lived quietly as a housewife, but became famous in the early 1950s when she was recorded for the BBC and when her song 'As I Roved Out' was used as the signature song for the famous radio series of the same name.

The Purple Heather
Type: CDs
The purple heather : traditional fiddle music from Donegal / VIncent Campbell
Vincent Campbell's fiddle playing is truly wonderful as it has a real old time sound to it. His repertoire is huge with much being derived directly from the famous Doherty brothers John and Mickey. He has many tunes and special versions that no one else has. His bowing, fingering and droning are often quite spectacular. Listeners often wonder how just one fiddle player could be doing so much all at the same time. Vincent was born in 1938.
