Our Take

Ron Kavana & Friends' latest offering, "40 Favourite Folk Songs," is like a big, warm hug from your eccentric uncle who always brings a guitar to family gatherings. With a whopping 40 tracks to sink your teeth into, this album is not for the faint-hearted or short of attention span.

From traditional Irish tunes to lesser-known gems, Kavana and his merry band of friends bring a fresh twist to these timeless folk songs. The arrangements are lively, the instrumentation is top-notch, and the vocals are as hearty as a pint of Guinness.

Tracks like "The Wild Rover" and "The Black Velvet Band" will have you tapping your foot and raising a glass in no time, while more introspective tunes like "The Parting Glass" and "The Fields of Athenry" will have you reaching for a tissue.

Kavana's passion for folk music shines through in every note, and his friends add layers of depth and complexity to the songs. It's like a musical potluck where everyone brings their A-game.

So, put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a nice cuppa, and immerse yourself in the world of Ron Kavana & Friends. "40 Favourite Folk Songs" is a delightful journey through the heart and soul of British folk music. Just be sure to have a pint of ale nearby to fully appreciate the experience. Cheers!
