"Just glancing over the tune list warns you that you have a corny collection of music hall Irish tunes. The Pub Singers, who sing 10 tunes, sound straight off the Lawrence Welk Show (terminally perky). I know this review sounds cynical, but I really craved traditional celtic folk music and this didn't hit the spot.
It does include lovely instrumental renditions by Claire Hamilton for the Skye Boat Song, Greensleeves, The Lark in the Morning, and three other tunes. That, Michael Duffy's The Last Rose of Summer, and Mick Moloney's contribution of Belfast Town and The Pipe on the Hob, saved the collection for me.
