Idir (2011)
At First Light are set to literally light the way for authentic Irish Traditional music this decade with their debut album, ‘Idir’. Masterful musicianship among the members and their guests, the finest in the Celtic world, will inspire and shine. Each member of the trio has influenced Celtic folk music, from featuring on Grammy-award winning recordings to collaborating live with the world’s greatest folk and contemporary artists. Their album is aptly titled ‘Idir’ – Gaelic for between and among, and reflects their collaboration as friends and artists and their work with others on the international stage.
