The accompanying album is a collection of sean-nós and newly composed pieces reflecting some of the most ancient and evocative compositions in existence of Irish song. Doimnic has recreated the airs for some songs where they have been lost, and the album features his own prize-winning song, Dhá dTrian Catha an Misneach.
