Mise Agus Ise

Mise Agus Ise (Myseld and Herself in Gaelic) combines the talents of two unique performers. Alison's celestial tones first came to public attention on Mellow Candle's seminal 1972 Acid Folk classic 'Swaddling Songs'. Now back home in Dublin, she writes with clarity of experience, recalling her early days and adventures abroad. Isabel comes from Donegal, a place rich in music and history. She can pen a jig or an air or dress an arrangement as easily as she smiles, which she does a lot. Isabel plays accordion, piano, keyboards, guitar and whistles, adding a sturdy backbone to Alison's songs. Additionally, for the first time since 1973, Alison is reunited with two fellow members of Mellow Candle, Dave Williams and Frank Boylan. Three decades later their musical alchemy adds an extra lustre to the flame of this recording of modern Irish, cosmopolitan Celtic Folk Rock music.
