Description
A beautiful hard-backed collection of Irish-language songs of the seasons. Originally released in CD form in 1997, Bliain na nAmhrán is a classic with nostalgia appeal to many young parents who will remember the songs from their own school days. The CD is completely re-recorded, now featuring a new generation of Futa Fata voices.
