  • Description

    This world-renowned Irish fiddler's long-awaited solo album. She toured 21 countries and has been a member of two of Ireland's most influential bands, Planxty (with whom she recorded the 1987 "Live in Dublin" album) and Coolfin. She played and recorded with Enya, Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, Nanci Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Rod Stewart, Emmy Lou Harris, Steve Earle, Donal Lunny, Mary Black, and Elvis Costello among others.

    Her own compositions have been recorded widely and used for TV and film. This new album, produced by Arty McGlynn, features the playing of Sharon Shannon and other star guests. It showcases her exceptional expressive gifts and is a unique mixture of powerhouse Irish dance-music, meltingly beautiful airs, exquisite songs and her own memorable compositions - all suffused with her trademark lyricism and virtuosity.
