The Monks of the Screw
The Monks of the Screw are a group of musicians who meet up for a Monday night session of music in Scully’s pub in Newmarket, Co Cork. This is their 3rd album and is a departure by being a trio drawn from the larger group.
Paudy Scully plays flute and Dan Curtain and Tim Browne play fiddles.
Pure Sliabh Luachra and pure joy

Re: Brathar na nÓi by The Monks of the Screw (trio) – tunes & notes
A great recording full of lovely, rare tunes – now available on Bandcamp, too!

You’ll also find a link to scanned sleeve notes under the tracklist. Note that there was a bit of a confusion with titles in tracks #10 and #13. “John Walsh’s” was originally meant to be “Patrick Cashman’s Favourite” (composer unknown), while “Cashman’s” is an unnamed polka by John Walsh which he later called “DAF Truck” polka. Full story here!
