    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

Jigs: MUNSTER JIG / HUMOURS OF LISHEEN / MUNSTER BUTTERMILK NO. 2 (Behind the Haystack)

Katerina Moskovskova – harp
Anton Zille – fiddle
Tatyana Vasilyeva – flute
Evgeny Kazenkov – bouzouki

This is a set of two classic Sliabh Luachra jigs that Tony got from the recordings of Denis Murphy and Julia Clifford (think The Star Above The Garter), and another Munster tune, which Séamus Ennis and others have linked to this one dairy product. We love these tunes for their meditative mood, which helps a great deal when playing for the long jig sets! We even tried to reinforce that feeling of the flow by adding the harp bass (who needs a bass guitar when you have one of those!) A memorable version of the third tune is on the influential album Kitty Lie Over by Mick O’Brien and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh. Not only has this CD been promoting unhurried tempos and a lovely lift worldwide, it also served as a starting point in the chain of events that brought Tony to the Willie Week (Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy). He’s been trying to drag the rest of the band to that magical week of music and small talk in Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare, ever since.
