Lunasa

Named after Lughnasadh, an ancient Irish harvest festival, Lunasa was started when Sean Smyth, Trevor Hutchinson, and Donogh Hennessy briefly toured through Scandinavia in 1996. Upon their return to Ireland, they teamed up with Michael McGoldrick and John McSherry to record a few tracks for what would be their first album. In 1997, Kevin Crawford joined the group. In 2004, Donogh Hennessy left the group and was eventually replaced by Paul Meehan.
