This Weekend I'll Mostly Be Listening to... The Harvest Ministers

The Harvest Ministers another great Irish band, who are actually still around. I saw them first many moons ago in Whelans I think. A friend had sung their praises and I went along. On the strength of that gig I went off and bought their first album ‘Little Dark Mansion’, I listened to it quite a lot at the time partly as it was one of the few CDs I had.
It was a great album although sometimes quite melancholy and stark. For me ‘Railroaded’ was the standout track
They’ve had a few releases since then and I have some of them on CD also. The Jaunty ‘Cleaning Out The Store’ and ‘That Wont Wash’ are both from the album ‘A Feeling Mission’
Anyway enjoy.
You’ll find a bio of them and a session track ‘Teresa’ here on the great fanning Sessions site.
