    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.

Igor learned this set of slides from a recording of the band Beginish, which has musicians from Kerry to Donegal playing polkas and slides – a practice that we certainly approve! We’ve been playing these tunes for the Ballyvourney Jig Set with an extra one on top. Our late great friend Timmy ‘The Brit’ McCarthy taught the dance in Moscow as the Cúil Aodha Jig Set, and it was at his workshops in the fall of 2010 that Tony and Zheka first played together for the sets. We’re thus forever indebted to Timmy for more than just inspiration! Perhaps the most memorable time we played this set was at night in the pine forest on the sandy banks of the river Volga, at an open-air festival not far from Nizhny Novgorod. We had dancers from all over, and some of them had been to Timmy’s workshops. You can find this madness à-la Russe on YouTube.
