Hot Days by Poitín
Traditional meets modern in this album as jigs and reels spiral intricately with saxophones, fiddles and didgeridoo.
Celtic MP3s Music Magazine describes Poitín as 'a courageous band who know what they’re doing, and they know they’re good at it', and the CD as an 'excellent album, you can’t go wrong – even if it’s winter, you’ll create a summery feeling in no time.'
Celtophilia says: 'I am not even going to try to pick a favorite song on this CD. I love them all. I have listened to this one over and over since we received it, and I will continue to do so.'
‘Hot Days’ features a mix of saxophone, didgeridoo and more traditional instruments to create a sparkling and innovative collection of songs and tunes, some traditional, some new, all suffused with Poitín magic.
This is the band's third CD and was released in 2006 after the band had been together for 10 years. Here you'll find 13 scintillating arrangements of classic jigs, reels and songs, plus completely new compositions by Helena, Honza and Kuba, all with an unmistakable Celtic flavour.
