Background

Coiste Cheol Cheann Dubhrann (Music of Ceann Dubhrann Committee - based in Ranafast) began working on the project when building work on Áislann Rann na Feirste was nearing completion to raise funds for the aforementioned initiative and the National school in the area. The album mostly features local singers and musicians from the area, along with three musicians whose parents are from the area and two singers from Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore); Máire Ní Bhraonáin (Moya Brennan) and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh. Most songs are also from the area with a few that have been popular over the centuries in the area, from other parts of Ulster. The album was launched on 12 December 2009 in Leo's Tavern, Mín a' Leice, Donegal.[1] A further launch took place in Belfast's Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich on 26 February 2010.[2]

A free copy of the album was given to every household in Ranafast. The album also features the four surviving singers of the 1970s Gael Linn album, Rann na Feirste.
