    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.

    Includes unlimited streaming of From Sliabh Moscó to Cathair Pheadair via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Jig & Single Jig: MRS. GALVIN’S / THE QUAKER

Sophie Petkevich – C/C# accordion
Anton Zille – cross-tuned fiddle

This little Clare-Kerry set of tunes is our thank you to so many people. Thank you to the musical world of Sliabh Luachra where Merrily Kissed the Quaker is played in this particular version. Thank you to Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh for all the inspiration, and for introducing Tony to the joy of cross-tunings and low keys, as well as the hidden gems of characters such as fiddle player Mrs. Galvin from Moyasta, Co. Clare. Thank you to Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich for his advice to get an old Hohner Corso as a starter button box, and for keeping it when Tony got one at Frank McNamara’s shop in Miltown Malbay! Finally, a special thank you to Michael Rowbotham who restored this ancient, web-covered instrument into a beautiful 3-voice C/C#, which Sophie plays on this track.
