DESCRIPTION & TRACKLIST

DESCRIPTION

Nioclás Tóibín, traveled around Ireland on his bicycle, collecting songs and talking to old people

Nioclas Toibin(1928-1994) Sean-nos singer.

Born in the parish of Rinn O gCuanach(Ring) in County Waterford. His father and mother, Seamas Toibin and Maighread Ni Sheanachain, were both well known sean-nos singers who in turn has been taught by their own parents.

Nioclas other main infulence when learning his art was an old school teacher Pilip O Foghlu.

Ring has long been regarded as having its own distinctive sean nos singing style and Nioclas is its master. He continues to influence most Irish singers and musicians. Among those who credit him is whistle player Mary Bergin and singer with the group Danu, Ciaran O'Gealbhain.

He won the Corn Ui Riada(as it is now called), the principal national singing competition, at the Oireachtas for 3 years from 1961 to 1963.

Nioclas issued two EP's with Gael Linn in 1963 and in 1977 released this LP also with Gael Linn.

He is considered to have a powerful voice, with a very wide range, total breathing control and faithfulness to the melody. While his repertoire is very much based in Na Deise it also included songs from many other parts of the country, totalling over 300 songs.

Many of his songs originate with great Irish poets such as Piaras Mac Gearailt, Tomas Mac Craith, Padraig Denn and Padraig O'Mileadha.

One of the songs Nioclas has been most associated with is "Na Connerys" which recalls the sufferings of three brothers transported from Waterford to New South Wales in the first half of the 19th century. Another is "Roisin Dubh" which also features on a collection of Nioclas radio recordings called "Rinn na Gael"(Clo Iar-Chonnachta).


Personally Nioclas is remembered as quiet spoken and modest, with a strong sense of the heritage he carried, and always generous with his singing and his repertoire.

Shipping Policy

Mint (M)

Vinyl:
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.

CD:
Perfect. No scuffs/scratches, unplayed - possibly still sealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections - possibly still sealed.

Cassette:
J-Card is crisp, clean and perfect in every way. Likely sealed. Cassette is brand new, and professionally produced.

Near Mint (NM or M-)

Vinyl:
A nearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback.  The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

CD:
Near perfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played - but it has been handled very carefully. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest of marks from handling.

Cassette:
Sleeve should be totally crisp and clean with only the slightest evidence of handling. Tape is likely new, free of any wear or damage.

Very Good Plus (VG+)

Vinyl:
A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole.  Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable.  Spindle marks may be present.  Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner.

CD:
A few minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled with good care - and certainly not abused.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar).

Cassette:
Sleeve has slight wear, marks, indentations, and/or may possibly have a cut-out hole (or similar). Tape has been taken very good care of and may have light marks or spindle wear. Should play cleanly with minimal noise or degradation.

Very Good (VG)

Vinyl:
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.

CD:
Quite a few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches. This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as a VG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing.

Cassette:
Sleeve will contain more wear, marks, and/or indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, a small tear/rip, or some writing. Tape may have heavier marks and wear than VG including plastic discoloration. Should play with some stronger hiss or degradation, but not enough to overpower music.

Good (G), Good Plus (G+)

Vinyl:
A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

CD:
There are a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play through without problems. This has not been handled with much care at all.Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than a VG - possibly a more significant tear/rip.

Cassette:
Sleeve will be well worn, marked, and contain obvious indentations, fading, and/or writing, more so than a VG grade - possibly a more significant tear/rip. Tape will have heavy wear on shell. Felt stopper may be missing. Tape may have minor creasing, but not broken. Must play through, may have heavier degradation that will overpower music.

Poor (P), Fair (F)

Vinyl:
The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.

CD:
The CD may or may not play some or all of the tracks. Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak: Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn, or significantly faded, or water damaged.

Cassette:
Sleeve will be torn, heavily stained, showing general heavy damage, or will be partially missing. Likewise, tape will be heavily damaged, showing complete fading on the face, crinkled tape, missing screws or teeth, staining, and other heavy wear. Cassette will more than likely not play through.
