THE IRISH ROVERS STORY

"Throughout the years, these international ambassadors of Irish music have maintained their timeless ability to deliver a rollicking, rousing performance of good cheer - one that will soon have you singing and clapping along. Their songs have become anthems of revelry and joy among generation after generation of fans." - BELFAST TELEGRAPH

This is the 45th year for The Irish Rovers as recording artists. The band formed in 1963 in Toronto, Canada.

Wilderness Heart, the new album by Black Mountain is packed with succinct rock songs that pulse and pound with startling precision; it pummels you and you ask for more. This is arguable the band's tightest, most concentrated venture, but there's still plenty of raw rock energy at work. "It's our most metal and most folk-oriented record so far," McBean says. "I'm not gonna say it's our best record or the album that we always dreamt of making 'cause that's what everyone says. It's all about whee we were at the time the machines were rolling. You can't control the electricity or how your limbs were moving that day. You have to erase the visions and just go along for the ride."

With his debut The Last Of Our Mountains, Edel has learned that home, love and youthfulness are neither innocent nor simple. Born in rural Alberta, his youth was spent between rocky mountains and vast wheat fields. These landscapes shaped the album; a sharp and urgent collection of 8 songs that give way to the adventurous, compassionate and delicate.
