Rattle the Boards   -   'The Parish Platform'

Our CD Album of the Week is the recently released 'The Parish Platform' by Rattle the Boards.

Playing together since 1992, Rattle the Boards have been praised as one of the best traditional acts in Ireland's music scene.

Group members Pat, John and Benny, were all members of the Knocknagow Ceili Band who were based in Clonmel, Co.Tipperary and spend many years playing for dancers throughout Ireland. Benny is also leader of the International supergroup "Danu" and has toured all over the world.

In 1999 Rattle the Boards released their debut album to much acclaim. With many performances in Ireland and Europe over the past years, Rattle the Boards have grown into an act very much sought after.
