�The group Ois�n released a series of highly accomplished albums winning favourable reaction at home and a considerable following on the continent. Ois�n from this, their 1976 debut alluded to an exciting new sound. Doherty's Jig and Terry's Travels both showed energy and flair. The Walk of the Fiddler's Bride and the Maple Leaf show their mellow approach. Geraldine McGowan 's pristine vocals shine on Geordie and O ro my Johnny, while Seamus McGowan and Mick Davis� vocals add a more boisterous feel. Still fresh and inventive after all these years, Ois�n is a lesson in how to arrive stylishly.� - John O'Regan
