"Comprehensively researched, creatively written and recorded, more than six years in the making, Irish Ways is the first and only audio release of its type that tells the story of the Irish people through their songs and poetry. Written and performed by internationally acclaimed Irish composer, author, and performer, Ron Kavana, the 4-CD set includes 5 hours of song, poetry and narration—all new recordings and arrangements of traditional and original material within a 46,000-word hardcover digibook. Guest appearances by members of the Pogues."
