Bragan Lasses

from The Far Field by Thomas Johnston

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    'extraordinary ... a total delight' (RTÉ Lyric LM)
    'a little bit of magic' (RTÉ Radio 1)

    The Far Field is a magical collection of music and song produced by Ceol Connected's by Dr Thomas Johnston, created with pristine production values, evocative soundscapes and a roll-call of high calibre musicians, namely Seán McElwain (guitar), Shane Greene (keyboard), and Stephen Markham (sound design).

    Receive your CD with a beautifully illustrated cover art booklet created by ShelkyBean. As you read the story of Farmer Lonán, you can play the tracks and bring his adventures to life through music and song. Afterwards, your story booklet folds out into a stunning A2 illustrated poster that is perfect for hanging on a child's bedroom, preschool, or classroom wall.

    Amongst the familiar and perhaps not-so-famliar fairy-related tunes on this album is an expertly crafted body of songs which combine the clever use of repetition, action words and playful onomatopoeia & alliteration.

    Inspired by the fairy folklore of the Sliabh Beagh region of Co. Monaghan, songs such as 'Whistle and Sing' describes the power of the fairies to impart the magical ability to play music on the unsuspecting passerby (in this case, Farmer Lonán). While the action-filled 'Here Sucky Sucky' shows that it's not only humans that are subject to the fairies' mischief and divilment!
