While this song can be found on Shira Kammen's "The Castle of the Holly King" album, she is definately not the one who sings in "The Wren in the Hurze" ;-) This is a great celtic song featuring fast, mind-boggling lyrics (think tongue-twister) and impressive percussions. I think a Bodhrán is used, but don't quote me on that.
