Sleeve Notes

There are some songs which, though they may be almost contemporary, quickly find their way into the canon of traditional music. "THE FIELDS OF ATHENRY" by Pete St. John and "THE TOWN I LOVED SO WELL" by Phil Coulter are now as much part of our folk heritage as "DANNY BOY".

This is due almost single handedly to one man. Paddy Reilly has the incomparable gift of taking a new song and making it sound as if we have known it all our lives.

On this double album, the twenty five years which Paddy Reilly has spent singing to audiences all over the world are celebrated by twenty four Golden tracks covering those eventful years.

Paddy is joined on the album by special guests The Dubliners, The Fureys, Dublin City Ramblers and Jim McCann. Eight of Paddy's classic songs are included, specially rerecorded, along with seventeen new titles, which make this the definitive Paddy Reilly album.

The title track "The Gold & Silver Days" is a new song specially written for Paddy's 25th anniversary by his friend Phil Coulter and I bet that, within months, we will hear it sung in pubs and parties all over Ireland.

Paddy Reilly can do that with a song!
