Ensemble that blends tradtional and contemporary influences creating a unique, original sound. Author, poet, singer-songwriter, Maireid Sullivan, originally from Cork, Ireland, lived in Australia for many years. She has released two albums on Lyrebird Music. Her first album 'Dancer' was produced by Ireland's renowned Donal Lunny. Her most recent recording is 'For Love's Caress - a Celtic journey'.

A while back I contacted Maireid to compliment her on her incredible voice. T'was the then I found out she too was an "Anne of Green Gables" fan. Instant connection. I first heard this song performed by the Wolfe Tones. Maireid takes a markedly different approach to this traditional Celtic song. Rather, she allows her beautiful resonant voice to caress each word in a subtle bluesy fashion. There's some sweet blues guitar work here that is wonderfully enhanced by Maireid's voice.
