ALTAN, in various guises, have been regular guests at Girvan Folk Festival over the years. In this recording, you might recognise the voice, and humour, of Frankie Kennedy doing many of the introductions.  

The members of Altan at this time were Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, (vocals, fiddle), Frankie Kennedy (flute), Ciarán Tourish (fiddle), Mark Kelly (guitar), Ciarán Curran (bouzouki). 

NOTE RE PHOTO. The group photograph featured here was taken at an earlier appearance of Altan at Girvan Folk Festival, we hope to find a photograph contemporary with this performance at a later stage.
