The record
Sets of tunes, many of them Vass’s own, with a Damien O’Kane song, Hills of Donegal, in the middle. 42 Beech Avenue and Elizabeth’s Plymsoles are here, and a set named Three Steps to the Rusty Squash Horn, which gave its name to the studio and label that followed.

The Living Tradition
“An album by musicians as good as Malinky’s fiddler (Mike Vass) and guitar/bouzouki player (Dave Wood) is always to be welcomed, and this does not disappoint.”
