The Red Rose Café is really singer-guitarist Philip Morrow, a Donegal native, who seems to be performing under his own name now. I've only seen him once, several years ago at the Hard Working Class Heroes festival; he was the first act on the line-up and there were maybe half a dozen people in the audience for his set. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that we were the luckiest half-dozen people in Ireland that night. Shame he doesn't seem to gig very often, at least not in Dublin.
This is from his 2006 album, The New Year Tapes. If quiet, delicate indie-folk is your thing, you really don't want to miss this one.
