This album was recorded as a souvenir of the groups 1964 tour of Ireland, and is the first stereo album ever recorded there. It was made on the evenings of August 21 and 22, 1964, on the stage of Ulster Hall in Belfast. It must have been wonderful to be there on those joyous nights in Ulster Hall with the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem but you can't have everything; and we are fortunate to have this live recording to tell us what it was like. It was something very special, just as this album is.
