Take as a base two Irish parents well steeped in music, add a good measure of the spirit typical of Wales, flavour it with Scottish grit and practicality, the result of her lengthy stay in Scotland, and you will have this artistically explosive mixture.

REVIEWS
On first hearing, you'd think Lorraine Jordan is all heart and rhythm. Her songs, her playing, her singing are simply infectious. Listen again and her sharp-edged intelligence and clear-eyed perceptions become apparent. There's structure there too, but the bones don't show because we're so swept up in the emotion. There we are again, back to the heart.
Marilyn Rea-Beyer, Music Director, WUMB Folk Radio (Boston, USA)
This Big Feeling is a masterful blending of the best elements of contemporary and traditional Celtic music, tied with ribbons of harmony, brought from a soul steeped in generations of musical excellence.
