HARMONY HILL (1993)

This album was the first official Dervish album brought out in 1992 to much critical acclaim. It was the culmination of years of playing together in their home town of Sligo in informal sessions in pubs such as Shoot the Crows. The album features the original line up of Shane Mitchell, Brian McDonagh, Michael Holmes, Liam Kelly, Shane McAleer and Roscommon born Cathy Jordan on vocals and bodhran. Most of the tunes on Harmony Hill are from their surroundings of Sligo, a county rich in traditional music through the generations and the album is named after a street in their beloved Sligo.
