Here's a fascinating piece of Canadian folk history that deserves more recognition among collectors of Celtic and traditional music. The Abbey Tavern Singers were part of the vibrant folk revival movement of the 1960s, and this 1967 Arc Records pressing captures them at their peak. While their name might suggest an Irish pub band, these musicians were actually skilled interpreters of traditional Celtic material who understood that great folk music transcends national boundaries. The album title itself was a clever marketing hook that spoke to the universal appeal of Celtic traditions during the North American folk boom, when artists like The Clancy Brothers and The Irish Rovers were finding mainstream success.
