This is a selection of my favourite songs. The idea for the album came from a very old mate of mine Dara O Lochlainn.

It's not as easy a job as I first thought it might be. For instance - when I first looked over the list of titles I was featured on, there were at the same time MORE - and disconcertingly LESS than I thought!

Over the years with the “DUBS” an individual image has emerged for each of us. Mine I imagine to be loud, fiery and up tempo - but then almost to re-assure me it is also of a gentle, quiet, crying, almost “sotto-voce” type of character.

So what I've tried to do on this Album is to select the type of songs I might choose to sing at a party.

I think I've covered the whole spectrum from Love - Dainty Davy and The Unquiet Grave to Disgust - Parcel of Rogues and For what Died the Sons of Roisin. The rest is a selection of the most often requested songs I know. I hope you have as much pleasure in listening as I do in performing
