Na Casaidigh is one of the finest and best-known family bands in Ireland. Originally from Gweedore, Co. Donegal, the group of six brothers is noted for the variety of its material and remarkable harmonies. The group has toured throughout Europe and the United States.

Oró na Casaidigh- Irish Childhood Songs features songs which generations of Irish people have grown up with. However, Na Casaidigh have added a contemporary beat and mixed a few more instruments into the blend. In doing so, they have struck the right balance between the old and the new. This is clearly evident in the line-up of additional instruments Indian Sharuti, Egyptian drum, Spanish guitar and bassoon, among others. Na Casaidighare joined by a host of musicians, including Paul Moran on drums, Steve Cooney and Peter Eades.

This album achieved Platinum Record status on its release in 1997 and we feel that it will be give a great reception on its re-release. A booklet is enclosed with lyrics of all songs.
