HOMETOWN: STOCKTON'S WING LIVE
LIVE ALBUM RELEASED in 2022 - Universal Music Ireland
2022 marked the two-year anniversary since renowned Irish Folk Band, Stockton's Wing performed to large audiences in Ireland. Fans were delighted to hear that Tara Music released that live album of recorded music entitled 'HOMETOWN' STOCKTON'S WING LIVE.
The long awaited 15 track collection was recorded live in 2020 in Ennis and at TradFest, Dublin. The album captures the excitement and high energy of a live Wing gig.
It is the first body of work to come from the Legendary and much loved Irish Folk Band since their No 1-hit retrospective album 'Beautiful Affair: A Stockton's Wing Retrospective'
'HOMETOWN' features true favourite 'Beautiful Affair' (voted as RTÉ's top 75 Irish songs of all time), 'Walk Away' and the classic 'Aarons Key' as well as many Wing favourites. The album includes new material from the band available on CD and digital formats.
'HOMETOWN' is preceded by a stunning live version of the bands classic Irish trad/funk hit 'SKIDOO' which is the focus track at radio and available now.
Stockton's Wing is a collective of musicians hosted by founding members Mike Hanrahan and Paul Roche. For the past several years they have been joined by fiddler extraordinaire Tara Breen, Karol Lynch on banjo and mandolin, guitarist Paul McSherry
9 Hazel Trees
'In Irish legend, nine hazel trees grew around the well at the end – or the heart – of the world, and when their nuts fell into the well, its waters carried them to the seven rivers of Ireland, where they were eaten by the salmon of knowledge.'
9 Hazel Trees is a traditional Irish/fusion/folk/contemporary band from Donegal, Ireland. The band formed from a collection of long term session players and solo artists, all from diverse musical backrounds who discovered playing together brought a unique and fresh approach to the traditional. Inimitable live, with an array of traditional and non traditional instruments, 9 Hazel Trees bring an energy and excitement combined with a passionate delivery inducing tears one minute and dancing the next. Hailed as one of the best live bands on the circuit, 9 Hazel Trees have just returned from an incredible tour in Africa, and are looking forward to entertaining international audiences during Uk Space Week in Belfast later in the year.
