Michael Hanly & Mícheál O'Donnell - Celtic Folkweave (Rare 1974 Irish Folk masterpiece on Polydor)

 

Originally released in 1974 on Polydor Records, Mick Hanly & Mícháel O'Donnell’s Celtic Folkweave is considered one of the most seminal albums in the Irish folk music genre.
The album features some of Ireland's most well-regarded traditional musicians, including Mick Hanly, Mícháel O'Donnell, Liam O’Flynn, Matt Molloy, Donal Lunny, Tommy Peoples, Declan McNeils & Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill.

All of the musicians on Celtic Folkweave would go on to make notable contributions to the Irish and Celtic music genres, with Molloy, Lunny, Ní Dhomhnaill, Ó Domhnaill, and Peoples ending up in The Bothy Band, one of the most influential bands playing Irish traditional music in the 1970s.
