2015 IRL release

Seamus Begley, long-associated with the box and possessor of one of the tradition’s tenderest voices, has set his accordion aside so those songs can shine. The voice is an enigma: emanating from Begley’s strapping frame, it embodies a vulnerability that seems at odds with his garrulous personality. But his song choices suggest an interpreter completely at home in that delicate space where singers must venture to fully inhabit a song. Begley’s boldness rests in the breadth of his choices, and a robust Scottish influence filters through The Lough Tae Boat Song and the sublime Will You Go to Flanders--Irish Times
