Tara Records

There was quite a gap between that album coming out and anything further being released. Then, in the early eighties, there were two albums from Planxty ('' After The Break'' and ''The Woman I Loved So Well''), two further solo albums from Moore ('' The Iron Behind the Velvet'' and '' Live In Dublin''), as well as two albums from Clannad ('' Crann Úll'' and ''Fuaim''), followed by the first of numerous albums from Stockton's Wing. In the late seventies, Tara recorded Shaun Davey's '' The Brendan Voyage'', a ground-breaking album which featured uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn as a soloist with a full orchestra.

Waulking Song
Waulking songs () are Scottish folk songs, traditionally sung in the Gaelic language by women while fulling (waulking) cloth. This practice involved a group of women, who traditionally prepared cloth, rhythmically beating newly woven tweed or tartan cloth against a table or similar surface to lightly felt it and shrink it to better repel water. Simple, beat-driven songs were used to accompany the work. A waulking session often begins with slow-paced songs, with the tempo increasing as the cloth becomes softer. As the singers work the cloth, they gradually shift it to the left so as to work it thoroughly. A tradition holds that moving the cloth anticlockwise is unlucky. Typically one person sings the verse, while the others join in the chorus. As with many folk music forms, the lyrics of waulking songs are not always strictly adhered to. Singers might add or leave out verses depending on the particular length and size of tweed being waulked. Verses from one song might appe ...
