I have the album. I really like it but prefer the Irish language tracks to the English.

I just don't think he qualifies as an 'outsider' - the person playing the extra perscussion, on the other hand, should record an album of his own for instant cult status

That kind of stuff is amazingly popular once you leave dublin. Those midified accordions are appalling things. I dunno if thats one or not but i wouldn't be surprised if it was the accordion playing the percussion.

I've seen many the Country & Irish act that relies heavily on midi backing tracks. I think the genres a bit like Grime in that what sounds cheap initially just blends into the background and becomes part of the aesthetic.

Or it might just be that most Country & Irish performers and fans are tone deaf.

Thats an interesting theory. I always narrow-mindedly assumed that the people who made and listened to it just didnt know any better.

I remember doing work experience in a studio in Letterkenny years ago when they were using the same backing tracks for a bunch of different instruments, vocals, accordian and pan pipes were the three I remember, think there may have been sax too.

Other than nuclear weapons never has such advanced technology been used for such evil. I love it!

I think in most instances its songs the performers and all the audience are familiar with so they only need be reminded of it to enjoy it. Sorta like ringtones.

Ah the memories. I once wanted to be a sound engineer - two weeks in the studio with one of those midi-accordion / keyboard set-ups convinced me to try something else.

Here's a little something from Limericks underground Bassline/Donk scene. I had the pleasure of judging the proceedings which was difficult cos I was so out of breath from laughing.
