What's Spinning

Farewell to Eirinn
Green Linnet (1981)

Just a random album of Celtic songs I picked up at some point. Not bad, basically what you’d hear from a free Irish band at a bar.

Dolores Keane has a beautiful voice. She, and her brother, used to often do little impromptu shows in a pub I go to in the west

Nice, so it literally is music you could hear free at a bar (pub)! :D The vocals are really good, though - there's a reason I pull this one out every St. Patrick's Day.

Also, I somehow forgot about that Gloaming record - I should play that one today.

I don’t know about her albums so much but she’d be a really big name in traditional music over here. The reason she’d be in sessions in that neck of the woods would be that it’s very close to where she is from herself lol. Her whole family are really big in the traditional music scene and the, much less reputable (it stinks badly), country-Irish scene.
 
The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!
