We’re delighted to announce the release of this world-renowned Irish fiddler’s long-awaited solo album.

She’s played and recorded with Enya, Van Morrison, Sinéad O'Connor, Nanci Griffith, Ricky Skaggs, Rod Stewart, Emmy Lou Harris, Steve Earle, Dónal Lunny, Mary Black, Carlos Nuñez, Andy Irvine, Moving Hearts, The Indigo Girls, Spandau Ballet, Elvis Costello, Christy Moore, Liam O'Flynn, Dan ar Braz, Sharon Shannon, Maura O'Connell, Paddy Keenan, Seán Keane and Máirtín O'Connor, and recorded two duo albums with husband Arty McGlynn.

She’s performed as a soloist with orchestras in Ireland, Germany and the USA in works commissioned from Shaun Davey, Dónal Lunny and Evan Chambers. Her own compositions have been recorded widely and used for TV and film. She’s been featured soloist in over 20 feature films, notably Dancing at Lughnasa and Waking Ned.

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.
