Reel Climb: Lúnasa and "Temple Hill"

Our random tune for today, Temple Hill, comes to us from Lúnasa, an Irish band named after an ancient harvest festival. Playing primarily Irish traditional music, the band was pieced out of musicians that played in support of original band member Sean Smyth's solo tour in the mid-1990s. Their first album was a live album with recordings from the band's initial tour, and was critically acclaimed. The group has released seven studio albums, one live album, and has been featured on various artist compilations of Irish music. Temple Hill can be found on their 2003 album Redwood, and consists of three reels called Patrick Conneely's, Johnny McIljohn's and Temple Hill.
