All-Ireland champions Glór na dTonn launching debut album

CURRENT All-Ireland Senior Céilí Band champions Glór na dTonn are set to release their highly anticipated debut album, Come West Along The Road - An Bóthar Siar, on Friday, May 1.

Rooted in the rich musical traditions of Mayo and Sligo, the band has built a reputation for their lively Connacht style of dance music, inspired by some of the region’s most celebrated musicians, including the legendary James Morrison and Michael Coleman.

The album is a reflection of the tunes and songs the group has enjoyed performing together as friends over the years. There are 14 tracks on the album featuring a mix of traditional music and songs.

Come West Along The Road - An Bóthar Siar will be available to purchase online via Bandcamp from its release date, as well as at upcoming launches, concerts and céilís.

Glór na dTonn will officially launch the album with a special concert at Ballina Arts Centre on Friday, May 8, as part of the Mayo Fleadh Cheoil. The night promises to be a celebration of the very best of traditional music from County Mayo, with support from the Bofield Harp Ensemble.

Tickets are available now from ballinaartscentre.com or by phone at (096) 73593.
