This CD contains a double EP - Marcus in the Wood and Marcas sa gCoill. That’s because Seo Linn’s EP is featured with a full set of songs in the English language and their counterparts in the Irish language. When Seo Linn were starting off as a group, they played together regularly in their local pub, “Tigh Mharcas” or “Marcus’s House”, in Conamara in the West of Ireland, where they were working at the time as teachers. Tigh Mharcas is just up the road from an area called “An Choill Rua” or “The Red Wood”. The title comes from these early roots of the band as they developed their musical style with these new original songs.

Is EP dúbailte é an dara píosa saothair atá eisithe againn anseo - Marcas sa gCoill agus Marcus in Wood. Scríobh muid agus rinne muid taifead ar na hamhráin ar fad i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. Is saothar idirthréimhseach é an DD i mórán bealach a labhraíonn faoi am a chaith muid ag smaoineamh ar an treo ina raibh muid ag dul. Bheadh muid ag casadh lena chéile go minic agus le ceoltóirí eile istigh i dTigh Mharcais ar an gCoill Rua in Indreabhán Conamara, go háirithe nuair a bhí muid ag tosú amach. Tagann ainm an DD ón taithí iontach seo.
