Her voice has an echoing quality about it, lending a bittersweet flavour to words that remain in the mind long after the song has come to an end. Of course it's in the blood too - she comes from a long line of distinguished musicians: her father, Gerry, for example, and also her late uncle Fr Eoghan Ó Colm, parish priest on Tory Island and author of one of the best-known books to come out of Donegal in the last century, Toraigh na dTonn. Some of the songs on this CD come from Tory, ‘Beití Sailí Dan', and ‘Is deas an buachaill fóinteach mé' - songs she learned from the great Teresa Mhic Claifeartaigh and Éamonn Mac Ruairí - and a few more.
