At the Auberge du Lion Rouge
Welcome to the Auberge du Lion Rouge, traveling souls!
Sit by the fire, grab the menu and enjoy our best specialties from Ireland and Scotland. If you listen to neighboring tables, you will hear stories of transfixed lovers, battles for freedom and perilous crossings to the other side of the world. Once satisfied, you can put our floor to the test on a selection of jigs, reels, hornpipes and other wild polkas. And if you stay up a little late, you might even be treated to one of our traditional late-night fights (shillelaghs available at the counter, ask for Séamus).
After this unforgettable evening, we are sure to see you again soon!

🔺 “At McCarthy's Party's & Polkas” which you already know, since this song and this set were recorded last summer to make a music video, will open our album!
🔺 The following four titles have, for some, been played for a long time in our previous formation Blossom and it seemed essential to us to immortalize them in the studio with certain new arrangements.
🔺 Finally, we close the EP with an Irish ballad brought by Yann in order to contrast with the first track and finish gently with this "Return home, in Derry".
