Nomos – I Am Going To Set You Free
Continuing our series of underrated Irish music since 1960, reader Eamonn would like to draw our attention to Cork trad upstarts Nomos who shone brightly in the 1990s.
Led by Eoin Coughlan (vocals and bass), the line-up was completed by Niall Vallely (concertina), Vince Milne (fiddle), Frank Torpey (bodhran) and Gerry McKee (bouzouki).
This is a live version of the title track from their second and final album released in 1997 on Green Linnet Records.
Nick says: It’s a very, very trad world.
