MIDWINTER NIGHT'S DREAM is a collection of carols, dances, ritualistic pieces (both Christian and pagan), and winter-themed Celtic songs. As on The Boys of the Lough's previous releases, MIDWINTER features instrumentation indigenous to Irish, Scottish, and English folk music, including flutes, whistles, mandolin, accordion, bouzouki, and Uillean pipes. The result, as generated through the fine musicianship of the quartet (joined here by three guest musicians), evokes visions of snow-covered hills, icy gales, fires in the hearth, rosy-cheeked lasses, drams of ale, and circle dances.
