Na Leanai - Fly & Dodger, recorded at the Bronte Music Club, Rathriland, 27.012.2014

Another video from the same Na Leanai concert, who are the next generation (daughters and nephew) of The Sands Family from Northern Ireland. It admirably shows that the talent has been passed on to this generation, with good looks now being added as well.

I mixed the concert using the house PA at the Bronte Music Club, the recording being taken from the stereo output of the house mixer, recorded on a Roland R-26 digital recorder. The microphones were Beyerdynamic TG-V70d for vocals, Audio Technica ATM 350 on fiddles, Radial J48 DI's on guitars
