The McPeake family of Belfast were one of the few Irish pre-ballad boom groups. That they were better-known abroad than at home is illustrated by a story told about a conversation between Bob Dylan and Bono of U2 in 1984. The legendary singer asked what Bono thought of the McPeakes. The Dublin-born Bono had never heard of them. The group was built up around the grandfather, Francis I, who had studied pipes under the blind Galway piper John Reilly.

Francis McPeake proved himself, right at the beginning of this century, to be one of the great Irish pipers and the talent seems to have been passed on to both his son and grandchild, both of whom, incidentally, are also named Francis. The LP contains three purely instrumental tracks (the pipe or pipes being accompanied by harp): McLeod's Reel, The Derry Hornpipe and Lament of Aughrim, the last-named a remarkably moving performance
