Recorded live over three nights in the fall of 2001, "Live at the Half Tilne Rec" captures the Irlsh Brigade in their most natural element, St. Paul's home of lrish Music: The Half Time Rec. The Brigade features Sean Conway on flutes and whistles (he was all-Ireland flute champion at age 15) here also playing guitar and doing some lead vocals, and Mike Wallace (well known for being responsible for the spreading of traditional lrish music in America) here playing guitar. Bodhron, Bass and singing as well. With everything from soaring jigs and reels to a Buddy Holly song, "Live at the Half Time Rec" demonstrates the full range of an lrish Brigade performance. Much more than just a "Pub Band," this recording demonstrates their ability to captivate an audience with traditional songs and dance tunes, while not forgetting their rock and roll influences. This recording is a must for any fan of authentic, traditional lrish music with an edge.
