From Germany comes The Ceili Family with Tooraloo, an extended CDEP (6 tracks + 3 bonus) of Pogues and Christy Moore inspired Folk-Rock. The Ceili Family are so inspired by Christy and Shane that 6 of the tracks here are Pogues covers played in a very Pogues style and the 2 Christy Moore covers are also played in a very Pogues style. The one original is similar to The Popes (solo) or Terry Woods “The Bucks” and is very good indeed. On the next release I hope they flip to doing 8 originals and 1 cover.
