    Russian musicians playing Irish music for Russian set-dancers is not something you see every day! We wanted to tell you our story, so the album features a painstakingly-designed 40-page illustrated booklet, revealing how Polca an Rí came to be, where the journey of playing for the sets has brought us, how we got all these wonderful tunes, and what Irish-Russian musical connections we've forged along the way. It comes in hard cover with fantastical art by Sophie Petkevich.

about

Polkas: AS I WENT OUT UPON THE ICE / CAMPDOWN RACES / JIMMY DOYLE’S

Alexander Shimchyuk – uilleann pipes
Anton Zille – fiddle
Evgeny Kazenkov – bouzouki

The set of polkas is from the classic Kerry Fiddles LP but this time we play it in a fiddle-pipes duo one doesn’t get to hear often on the dance floor. Uilleann pipes are a helluva job to tune, even more so as the room heats up, so there’s no way Alexander’s just bringing them out “for a couple of tunes” per gig! He, however, has had his own project where the pipes are featured prominently, and we hope its recordings, too, will see the light of day. These polkas are a flashback to several times we did play with the pipes for dancers and listeners alike – also, someone’s just got to make up for the shortage of polkas recorded on the thing!
