Several of St. Roch's "older generation" have gone on to become well-known in traditional music: Stevie Campbell, Gerry Conlon, Lawrence McElhinney, Mark Maguire, Clare McLaughlin, John McCusker, Gavin Pennycook, to mention but a few. Others continue to play with local bands. Members of the band on this album have taken part individually and collectively for many years in All-Britain and All-Ireland competitions with many notable successes and both Celine Donohue and Kevin O'Neill reached the finals of the Young Scottish Traditional Musician of the Year Awards. St. Roch's Ceili Band have delighted audiences for many years with their infectous enthusiasm. Now sit back (if you can restrain yourself) and listen to The New Generation!
