mirrorshardI picked up Kila's new album, Gambler's Ballet, the other day. It's Irish fusion folk, really good.
One thing that's really bugging me, though, is that on the instruments list for one of the songs (Fir Bolg) is something called a stormbone, and I have no idea at all what this instrument is.
Fiddle; stormbone, clarinet, lute, tablas, bongos (all the same musician); vocals, clarinet; tambourine, dumbeg; guitar, bass; piobai uillean, tin whistle; guitar; additional clarinet.
In context, it's presumably either woodwind or percussion. Will have to listen hard to the track to see if I can find it.
In other news, I'm finally getting (some of) the hang of my new cameraphone. Pictures here, for those of you who don't read Eithin.
