Hello, I live in the US and work for a Celtic Rock Band. They recently went to Ireland, and this review was sent from Belgium. We would very much like to know what they had to say, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Elders zijn afkomstig uit Kansas City maar hebben 100% Ierse roots in hun bloed. Wie The Pogues, The Oyster Band, Great Big Sea of The Men They Couldn't Hang in zijn collectie heeft steken kan zich probleemloos The Elders aanschaffen. Hun verhalen gaan over de Ierse geschiedenis, al dan niet recent, waar gebeurd of geheel verzonnen. De traditionele instrumentale sound van deze heren heeft een stevige rockonderbouw. Plaats daar de pakkende vocalen van zanger Ian Byrne bovenop en je kan van een prachtplaatje spreken. Op één nummer na, een schitterende versie van Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands van Richard Thompson, zijn alle songs door de band, en dan voornamelijk multi-instrumentalist Brent Hoad, geschreven. Het overgrote deel van de tracks zijn lekker up-tempo en blijven makkelijk in het gehoor hangen. Liefhebbers van Celtic rock zijn hier aan het juiste adres.

The Elders are from Kansas City, but have 100% Irish roots in their blood. For those who have The Pogues, The Oyster Band, Great Big Sea or The Men They Couldn't Hang in their collection, can without worry buy The Elders. Their stories are about the Irish history, recent or not, real or fictional. The traditional instrumental sound of these gents has a decent rock-base. Put on top of that the catchy vocals of singer Ian Byrne, and you can talk of a magnificent record. Bar one song - a lovely version of Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands of Richard Thompson - are all song written by the band themselves and mainly by their multi-instrumentalist Brent Hoad. The main part of the tracks are nicely up-tempo and catchy. Lovers of Celtic rock are here at the right address.
