About a Lighthouse: Lúnasa and "Loophead"

Loophead, a tune by Irish band Lúnasa, is our song for today. Lúnasa is named after an ancient harvest festival, and they primarily play 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. Loophead can be found on their 2006 album Sé, and consists of three reels called Bolton Street, The Millstream and Loophead Lighthouse.
