David Ingerson

David entertains in the old-fashioned way

on a personal, individual level, with warmth and wit, as if he were sitting with the audience around the turf fire in an Irish cottage long ago.  Intimate and engaging, he transports his audience with songs and stories, by turns dramatic and humorous, poignant and revealing.  David has been singing old-style Irish songs for over 40 years and is deeply invested in collecting, researching, and performing them authentically and entertainingly.

You will find a wide selection of traditional Irish songs on this album: songs of love, lament, rebellion, drink, emigration, humour, and several clever farmers. I learned them all from traditional Irish singers and they are all, with one exception, old traditional Irish songs. You will not find popular songs: none of them is commonly recorded but they all deserve to be heard more often. I sing them in the old, traditional style, solo and unaccompanied. The telling of the stories and the expression of the emotions depend totally on how the singer delivers the single line of melody. I hope you enjoy them.
