Seamus Heaney, the Derry poet, holder of the Nobel Laureate for Literature, and Liam O'Flynn, the internationally acclaimed uilleann piper have collaborated to produce an album of poetry and music, with Heaney (a great reader) reciting his own lines and O Flynn playing the uilleann pipes. Not just a number of poems and tunes thrown together ? the two artists laboured hard to achieve a coherent piece of work, and they succeeded. It?s a graceful, skilful performance that deserves to be listened to again and again.
