The Voice Squad's album Holly Wood was largely recorded in the 1000-year-old St. Kevin's church in Hollywood in Co. Wicklow, whose acoustics give an extra special aura to the recording. The Voice Squad are an a cappella vocal group who sing songs in a very old, very traditional manner; unaccompanied. They are Phil Callery, Fran McPhail and Gerry Cullen and together their voices mix in the most beautiful way. Holly Wood includes songs such as 'I am Stretched on Your Grave', 'Jimmy Murphy', and 'The Brown and Yellow Ale', once a favourite of James Joyce. This album is for those who like traditional music in a different vein. Holly Wood is a perfect gift for Christmas for loved ones, or just for yourself. |
