Sinead Stone & Gerard Farrelly - Legacy of a Quiet Man

This album reaches across years and musical styles to bring together the talents of three outstanding musicians in a truly remarkable story. Although very much an album of the 21st Century, the story begins in Kells, Co. Meath in the 1950s. Dick Farrelly, a songwriter who was as quiet and unassuming as he was talented, was working as a policeman in Dublin when suddenly fame was thrust upon him. The famous film director John Ford heard his song Isle Of Innisfree and chose it as the theme music for his legendary film The Quiet Man. Dick's son Gerard discovered an old suitcase at home that had belonged to his father, wherein he found a treasure trove of old hand written manuscripts of over 200 songs and poems - the legacy of a quiet man!Tracks: Seolta Bana / The Isle Of Innisfree / Annaghdown / People Like You And Me / If You Ever Fall In Love again / When Today Is Yesterday / Shores Of Loch Leven / We Dreamed Our Dreams / Cottage By The Lee / The Gypsy Maiden / Black Is The Colour / Siobhan.
