"In Dublins Fair City" is a traditional Irish pub song that goes by various different names, including "Cockles and Mussels" and "Molly Malone". Telling the story of Molly Malone, this lively and charming Irish track has been sung in many an Irish pub over the decades, even centuries. Featuring accordion, violin, Irish flute (tin whistle / penny whistle), piano and acoustic guitars. Starts rather slowly and then increases the tempo slightly for each new verse - ending up considerably faster than it started. A great, foot stomping, Irish traditional drinking song. Also available is an Underscore version, with all the lead instruments removed (great for singing along). [Trad./Arr: B. Lynne]

Bob and Barn
Bob & Barn are the nicknames of Paul 'Bob' Arnold and Andrew 'Barn' Barnabas, a couple of affable British chaps who've been writing music professionally and involved in all manner of sound related paraphernalia since 1990. Formerly heads of audio, music directors etc. of various eminent institutions - Sony being one of them, they left the convenience of corporations and formed Bob and Barn Ltd. in 2001.
They've written 100s of scores for games, film & tv, released 3 albums and in 2007 became R'n'B remix artists for Sony BMG. They've been nominated for numerous awards, most recently a BAFTA for their score to Primal and winning the Zaragoza film festival best original score prize for Palos.
They point blank refuse to be pigeon holed and have a fried egg as their logo. Weird.
