LIVE IN PALMA (1997)

This double live cd was recorded as the title suggests, Live in Palma, Mallorca. A great relationship and kinship was made between the lads in Dervish and their friends in Mallorca after they were asked to come to Palma to play at a friends bar. Out of those early informal sessions came the concert in the Theatre Principal in Palma to 700 people. They decided to record the night but after a difficult sound check at which it seemed nothing was working they deemed the recordings fit for nothing but the bin. Thankfully they gave them a second chance and the result was one of the greatest live recordings of traditional music ever recorded. What adds to the specialness of this recording is the fact that the introductions to the songs are left on album adding a whole new dimension of humour and depth, making one feel they are right there on the night.
