Now Is the Hour brings The Kilfenora Céilí Band's County Clare strength onto vinyl with plenty of lift in the tunes and a few songs folded in for breadth. The Test of Time, Jig It, On the Cusp and Lift and Swing make the dance-band heart of the record clear, while Clare to Here, Little Bird and My Heart's Tonight in Ireland give it a more reflective turn. It is a record with community in its bones. The Kilfenora name carries a long history in Irish traditional music, and this album keeps that history moving rather than sealing it behind glass. There is polish here, but the main pleasure is still rhythm, tune, pace and the feeling of players who know how to carry a room.

Now Is the Hour matters because The Kilfenora Céilí Band are part of the living architecture of Irish traditional music. The album gives that céilí-band sound a modern vinyl presence, with Clare roots and dance energy still clearly in view.

A fine choice for collectors of Irish traditional music, especially anyone interested in céilí bands, County Clare playing and tune sets that still feel connected to dance. Note that this copy is currently marked sold out.

Irish traditional céilí-band playing with County Clare character, lively tune sets, dance rhythm and a polished modern recording feel.
