MacBóchra
Seanchas
Today we release our song 'Inis Ealga Inis Fáil'!
You can find it here:
https://macbochra.bandcamp.com/track/inis-ealga-inis-f-il
The song's lyrics evoke a vision of Ireland based on two poetic names for the country associated with the Fir Bolg and Tuatha Dé Danann- Inis Ealga (The Noble Island) and Inis Fáil (The Isle of Destiny).
They can found among a list of old names of Ireland in Seathrún Céitinn's 17th century text 'Foras Feasa ar Éirinn'.
We recorded this track in February of last year when we were a duo. Míle buíochas to everyone who has supported our music and come to our shows over the past year.
