Altan 2012-05-15 Lyon 04 The New Rigged Ship / 05 Mo Ghaoil / 06a The Lancers Jig (start only) 12.47

Altan's complete concert on 15 May 2012 at the Karavan Théâtre, Chassieu, Grand Lyon, France (support acts: Avelsinn, a irish music-inspired french folk band & an ensemble of young musicians from the local music school playing irish music). Altan is carrying on here with two medleys from their new studio album "Gleann Nimhe - The Poison Glen" (2012) and a song from a previous one: a medley of reels entitled "The New Rigged Ship/Eddie Curran's/The Monaghan Twig/Kitty the Hare", "Mo Choill" ("My Love"), a sad song taken from "Harvest Storm" (1992), one of their earliest studio albums, the first part of a medley of jigs (from the irish traveller John Doherty) entitled "The Lancers Jig/The Further in the Deeper". In 2009, Altan re-recorded "Mo Choill" and 14 other previous tracks with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and released them in 2010 as the studio album "25th Anniversary Celebration".
