The performances on this album were recorded live in concert in July of 1978; the concert was organized to celebrate the release of
Welcome Here Kind Stranger,
Brady's first solo album and his last (for a long time, anyway) recording of traditional Irish music. The recording was never intended for commercial release, and the tapes were lost for 20 years before
Brady came across them again in his attic; they sounded good enough, and the performance was of a high enough quality, that he changed his mind and decided to have them transferred to CD and released commercially.
