  • Description

    The first duo album from Irish harper Máire Ní Chathasaigh and virtuoso English guitarist Chris Newman. Originally released 1988 on Green Linnet; re-mixed and re-released 1995 on Old Bridge Music. To our knowledge the very first harp/guitar duo album ever recorded, it was the Daily Telegraph's Folk Album of 1988, and one of its top three of the decade.

    "One of those inspired moments of musical imagination... Both are in the virtuoso class." - The Guardian

    "Extraordinary: a sparkling blend of Máire's Irish traditional music and myriad other musical influences that Chris has introduced...showcasing this remarkable duo's virtuosity and technical brilliance." - fRoots
