St. Cecilia and the Gypsy Soul is the ninth studio album by English rock band The Quireboys. It was released by Off Yer Rocka Recordings on 30 March 2015 as part of a four-disc set, including a reissue of the band's album Halfpenny Dancer (2009) and two live discs.
The album received generally positive reviews and was recognised for its acoustic aesthetic.
Background
In 2009, the Quireboys released Halfpenny Dancer, which features acoustic re-recordings of their earlier work. The album was recorded at Lemon Studios in Klippan, Sweden, and the band returned in 2014 to embark on a similar project. The project shifted slightly, and they instead began recording an album of new material.
