Dervish
The Great Irish Songbook

As one of the world's most renowned and imaginative interpreters of Irish folk music, Dervish have devoted the last three decades to gently reinventing the traditional songs of their homeland.
Produced by Graham Henderson (a musician known for his work with artists like Sinéad O'Connor), The Great Irish Songbook delivers some of the best-loved songs in the Irish tradition.
Most of the collaborators appearing on the album are artists Dervish met through 30 years of touring as a band, but some were new friends and came to the project for the love of these songs.
Featuring guests Steve Earle, Rhiannon Giddens, Vince Gill, Brendan Gleeson, Emelda May, Jamey Johnson, Kate Rusby, The SteelDrivers, Abigail Washburn, and others, The Great Irish Songbook both preserves the spirit of each song and brings a new vitality to iconic traditional songs of their homeland.

The Unwanted
Pay Day

The Unwanted features Cathy Jordan, Rick Epping and Seamie O’Dowd. Between them, they encompass a vast range of the music of Ireland, America, and other places geographically and culturally linked to these lands that encircle the Atlantic Ocean. From the rich traditions of both sides of the Atlantic have come the source and inspiration of the music of The Unwanted—three Sligo-based musicians, each with exceptional talent and a lifetime dedication to their music.

The Unwanted
Music from the Atlantic Fringe

The Unwanted features Cathy Jordan, Rick Epping and Seamie O’Dowd. “Many ties bind our own musical traditions to those of Appalachia and points west. The Unwanted is a beautifully loose-limbed celebration of those cross fertilizations, with an inquisitive ear cocked towards the future too.” - Irish Times

Clarvis, Noble & Jordan
Freight Train

In July 2020 Cathy Jordan, Liam Noble & Paul Clarvis joined forces remotely, to create a new big sound from small resources for an online concert commission to Paul, by West Midlands Jazz.

Freight Train carries tracks recorded apart for that lockdown stream, along with those from their first live meeting in the studio in January 2022.

“The whole album adds up to a very agreeable 50-odd minutes, but beware. A long-forgotten tune, suddenly heard again, can stick to you like glue. It happened to me with this title track, Freight Train, a hit in the mid-1950s, when I first heard it. Now I can’t shake it.”
