Wildgeese - Celtic Music Of The Northwest

The missing master of the out-of-print recording, "Wildgeese: Celtic Music of the Northwest" featuring Randal Bays, Bill Bulick, Kate Power, Jim Chapman and Barry Crannell, produced by Mícheál ÓDomhnaill and engineered by Michael O'Rourke at Grass Roots studio in Portland 1983, was rediscovered by a friend of the band, Alan Garren, in 2007. Although there was some degradation when the tape was played back, it was salvagable. They decided to do what could be done to preserve the recording. The unmistakable touch of the master in the Mícheál ÓDomhnaill mix remained reverently untouched during the restoration and now the reissue of the original Wildgeese debut album is ready to share.

Personnel:
Randal Bays: fiddle
Kate Power: vocals, guitar, harmonium, percussion, 5-string banjo
Bill Bulick: flutes & whistles
Jim Chapman: whistles, bouzouki, harmonium
Barry Crannell: guitar, mandolin
