Skara Brae

26 years after the band last performed togeter in 1972, the four original members of Skara Brae took to the stage again on a wintry Donegal night at the end of 1997. The little lakeside hall was packed, and when the music began the voices were stronger, the musicianship more assured, yet had the same freshness, the same harmonic inventiveness and the same sense of personal closeness that made the band so compelling 26 years previously. A booklet gives complete phrases in Gaelic and English, and brief updates on each of the band members.
