Includes: "Follow Me Up To Carlow", "Siobhan Ni Dhuibhir" and "Reynard The Fox."

MacMurrough - Merry And Fine. CD. (Kissing Spell - KSCD945) Mary Kavanagh and Paul Kavanagh (Josephine O’Neill had left by this point) released this album on a limited run of 500 copies at the start of 1978. Songs from the Irish, English, Scottish and Breton folk repertoires appear here. Their third release carefully blends together the enthusiasm of their debut and the sophistication of the self titled follow up. One of the lesser known groups of the Irish Acid folk, their relases were always consistently good and blended the ancient with the contemporary.

MacMurrough - MacMurrough 74. CD. (Kissing Spell - KSCD943) In 1974 now operating under the altered name of MacMurrough, Paul Kavanagh, Mary ONeill and Josephine ONeill released their second album entitled Mac Murrough. Released on Polydor Ireland in 1974 and produced by Donal Lunny of Planxty. Bothy Band and Moving Hearts fame. Originally released by Polydor Ireland in a limited edition of 500 copies, Mac Murrough is an acid folk classic. Featuring lyrical ballads from the English and Irish tradition including a 15th century Latin hymn Deus Meus and the song tradition of their native Wexford provided The Pulshone Fishermen. Celestial male/female harmonies are overlaid with subtle arrangements for guitar, dulcimer, lute, spinet, glockenspiel, tin whistle and bodhran MacMurrough weaves a web of pastoral elgaeic acid folk magic that justified MacMurroughs status as a holy grail.
