The name The Boxty Lads is much more than a reference to a traditional Irish dish. Ini-tially there were three major influences on the band: The Dubliners, The Bothy Band and Planxty (we stole the BO from one and the XTY from another to come up with Box-ty).
The Boxty Lads entered Soundfactor studios HQ on Nov 25th 2017 to start recording our first album “Home at Last”. As we got to know Carlo Delicati, (engineer and owner) and his family (thanks for the great food, wine and hospitality) we knew we had cho-sen the right studio and second home for the next 7 months.
We all want to thank our families, friends and loved ones who have helped us get here.
A special thanks to Fabrizio Verduchi for all the album’s graphics (front, back and in-side).
And a final thanks to Carlo without whose great patience, professionalism, friendship, engineering wizardry, and practical advice at all times this album would not exist.
