Paddy Noonan- A Grand Irish Party-LP

Paddy Noonan’s A Grand Irish Party captures the spirited energy of a live show at John Barleycorns, a venue beloved by fans of Irish music. Recorded in 1967, this album offers a vibrant collection of traditional tunes like "Siege of Ennis," "Dear Old Donegal," and "Boys from the County Armagh," highlighting the band’s commitment to preserving Irish folk heritage. The inclusion of a medley featuring "My Wild Irish Rose," "Goodbye Johnny," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" adds a charming touch that reflects the ensemble’s range and connection to classic Irish melodies. With contributions from Charlie McGee, Noel Kingston, and the McNamara Sisters, the performance is enriched by layered harmonies and lively instrumentation—proof that a grand party doesn’t necessarily need a guest list. This 1967 pressing on vinyl brings that lively night into your home with a clean presentation. The record’s condition is glossy and well cared for, showing only minor surface marks typical of careful use but no serious flaws. For those who appreciate Irish folk music in an authentic live context, this pressing preserves the room’s atmosphere without distraction. It’s a strong choice for collectors who want a slice of Irish music history that sounds as inviting as the venue itself—no need to bring your own whistle.
