The Chieftains : Bonaparte’s Retreat (CD)

Ireland’s European history echoes in Paddy Moloney’s interpretation of Napoleon’s campaign and its Irish implications. The historic links are obvious with songs such as ‘The Bonny Bunch of Roses’ and ‘The Green Linnet’, sung by Dolores Keane (see Delores Keane ‘There was a Maid’) and the hornpipe ‘The Rights of Man’.
