About the Show

Recorded at Dublin's Vicar Street during Moving Hearts' sold-out four night stand in February 2007, 'Live In Dublin' captures some of Ireland's finest instrumentalists at the very top of their collective game. Percussionist Noel Eccles says: 'There's unfinished business! When we last played it was as an instrumental band and we always felt we hadn't finished exploring the possibilities of our unique line-up.' Moving Hearts are one of a handful of truly legendary and influential Irish bands.

Focusing on material from their classic, genre-defying 1985 album 'The Storm', the new recording is a remarkable document; a testimony to fantastic musicians playing music which is unmistakably Irish in origin, but is immaculately imbued with jazz, world music and rock 'n' roll references.

Moving Hearts are: Donal Lunny (bouzouki), Davy Spillane (Uileann pipes), Eoghan O'Neill (bass), Keith Donald (saxophone), Matt Kellaghan (drums), Noel Eccles (percussion), Anto Drennan (guitar) and Graham Henderson (keyboards). Special guest - Kevin Glackin (fiddle).
