FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Set on Stone forewordKilfenora Ceili music is set in stone.June 1997 -- "When invited to write a few lines to accompany the album which you now hold in your hands, I was trilled and proud to be asked to contribute to a collection of music from a band who, over the last few years, have proved themselves to be worthy inheritors and natural custodians of a musical heritage that is without parallel in Irish traditional music. It was ninety years ago, in 1907, that a small group of musicians gathered around an open hearth in a cottage near the small North Clare village of Kilfenora to play old reels, jigs, hornpipes, mazurkas, marches and waltzes that, in the decades which followed, were to form the main repertoire of one of the best known and without question the most formidable ceili band in the country. " - P.J. Curtis. (Record Producer, Broadcaster and Author of "Notes from the Heart - A Celebration of Irish Traditional Music") June 1997.
