    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.

Polkas: WE WON’T GO HOME TIL’ MORNING / TOM MHIC NO.2 (Live at Vermel club, 2016)

Anton Zille – fiddle
Evgeny Kazenkov – bouzouki
Alexander Shimchyuk – flute
Katerina Moskovskova – harp
Sophie Petkevich – C#/D accordion

Recorded at a céilí in Moscow’s Vermel club with a whopping five sets of dancers present – which is basically how many its wooden dance floor could fit – this set of West Kerry polkas is a snapshot of the happier era we lived in just a few years back. It is also our little tribute to the Russian set-dancing community, and all our friends teaching the sets in Moscow in particular. It’s all thanks to them that these céilís were always being held with live music, despite never having been hugely commercial. As musicians, we found our most welcoming and most loyal audience there – or shall we say our partners in creating something beautiful. The bond between the dancers and the musicians is strong, and we were lucky to have this space as our mutual home for years. The old Vermel closed down at the end of 2020, and it will be sorely missed – but we all hope the time will soon come for its legacy to be carried on in another fine place, with all the dear faces, and sounds of steps, and shuffling, and chatting, and laughter making a triumphant comeback!
