May is birthday month for not only tandrageegirl herself, but two of her siblings, so a fair amount of present shopping is required. This year it was all relatively painless - if a tad expensive, on account of me buying two each of certain items (one to give away, one to keep). Embarrassing ...
One of the duplicates was a really brilliant album - The Irish Scattering, by Sean Keane. I'd never heard of Sean Keane before catching one of the songs from the album on RTE Lyric FM a couple of weeks ago, but I bought a copy each for my sister and myself. And for once, my mad optimistic faith was justified. I love this album, particularly "Fare thee well Enniskillen." BUT be warned - definitely not to be listened to if you're feeling at all homesick or maudlin (or have had a few jars).
