Scottish ballads and dances have long been a part of TEMP's core repertoire and we've invited friends to complete the circle with the two other great spokes of the Celtic wheel: music from Ireland and Brittany. Therese Honey and Abby Green perform both ancient and modern Irish works, Erin Bobruk and Ryan Beavers perform more recently conceived Irish music, and Bourrée Texane presents entrancing Breton music from old and new sources.

Recorded live on February 16, 2007 at First Presbyterian Church and February 17, 2007 at First English Lutheran Church, Austin, TX.
Jay Norwood, Recording Engineer.
