Earthy and ethereal, merry, wise, and whole-hearted, these Irish traditional songs celebrate life. Delightful singing in Irish and English with fresh accompaniment by Irish harp, bodhran, cello, piano, Irish flute, whistles, and fiddle.

About the CD
“It would be lovely to be on a mountainside
and to have for company an Irishy Girl…”
So begins the song which gives its title to The Irishy Girl, a gathering of Irish traditional songs which I hope will provide as good company to you, dear listener, as they have to me. These are some of my favorites, brought into my life by beloved friends, teachers, singers, and musicians, and assembled here in a kind of kaleidoscope of brilliant images and voices. Their cast of characters includes passionate shepherds and men off to war, several courting couples and a handful of philosophers, a nun and at least two mermaids. About half of them speak in Irish, and half in English. And what they tell us covers the gamut: love, friendship, loneliness, wit, disappointment, devotion, and the desire to celebrate being alive!
I am very lucky and grateful to have been joined in this project by several talented and generous people.
