Sheelanagig are releasing their fifth album, Beard Town. This latest offering was recorded live at the legendary Real World Studios and captures all the raw intensity of their live show. It also Showcases Sheelanagig's more introspective moments resulting in their most dynamic and engaging record to date. For the first time in the band's recording history the original music heavily outweighs the tradition. Utilizing the composition skills of Aaron Catlow, Adrian Sykes and Kit Hawes, and the arranging rapport that has built up between the five players, this album is truly a unique piece of work. Over the past decade they have been honing there lively blend of pan European folk music and are hailed as one of the most entertaining, dance-able and musically gifted group on the folk scene.
