Planxty – Arís! (LP)

The title given to this "master" album, Planxty Aris, is indeed fitting for two reasons. It gives an opportunity to another generation of young people, who are interested in the sounds of Irish folk music and song, to hear top artists together in that distinctive sound which was Planxty. The word "Aris" has two meanings in Gaelic. It means "again" in the context of a second hearing but for many of us who have heard and enjoyed Planxty from its foundation the word "Aris" will mean "encore" as used in praise of performance throughout the world.
