This music CD on the New Folk Records label features O'Rourke's Feast, a lively seven-piece Irish traditional music ensemble led by accordion player Paddy O'Brien, a native of Co. Offaly in Ireland who now lives in St. Paul. The group's repertoire includes traditional Irish melodies such as jigs, reels, hornpipes, clan marches, and slow airs, as well as some newly-composed tunes. The group's members include Kathleen Green, Ingrid Jans and Rosa Wells on fiddle; Suzanne Rhees and Amy Shaw on flute; Paddy O'Brien on button accordion; and Sherry Ladig on piano.
