    Rioghnach has a beautiful huskiness to her voice. And the instrumentalists, guitarists, bassist, violinist, all complement each other so well. Each finding spaces to express themselves.

      To be honest this is a wonderfully executed Dick Gaughan arrangement of this song. Despite what the credits says above "Arrangement by Ríoghnach Connolly & Ellis Davies" this is exactly Dick's arrangement right down to his exact guitar lines. That takes nothing away from Ríoghnach Connolly's stunning singing.

    Great singing and band. It would be interesting to hear the guitar move away from Dick Gaughan’s version of ripples, which, as a soloist, he uses to float the words on but here I find somewhat superfluous or intrusive. Others will obviously have a different opinion; such are the joys in making music.
