Comas translates as “power” and these boys have it in spades! They are that rare beast, the Celtic group of international membership, made even rarer by actually being worth listening to. The critical ingredient in this case, not present in so many others, is that the group is comprised of some very talented individuals who have more than casual groundings in Irish traditional music. They also have ace taste in choosing songs and tunes, as evidenced by their inclusion of tunes by Gerry O’Connor, Karen Tweed, and Chris Dawson (!) to note just three (and a wonderful song by guest singer Daithi Rua). Great music, great singing, and great playing. Like Solas, but with a “C” and an “M”…
