Timeless

Moya Brennan and Cormac De Barra both come from large musical families in Ireland and their mutual admiration for each other naturally developed into a stimulating musical relationship. Their new album, Timeless , is their third release of the Voices & Harps collection and further demonstrates a partnership combining the simplicity, depth and beauty of the extraordinary skills which make them unique in their own field. Working along with LA Producer/Engineer Lynne Earls, they have created a new set of songs based strongly on their traditional roots but exploring new avenues in their writing. Grammy award winner, Moya Brennan is the singer of Clannad as well as having a successful solo career. She has sung on most of the world s great stages and has collaborated with many notable artists including The Chieftains, Paul Brady and Bono. She is also part of the female traditional group, T with the Maggies. Cormac De Barra is renowned internationally as a versatile harp virtuoso. He continually pushes the boundaries of the Irish harp through his work with a wide array of artists, including Hazel O Connor, Julie Feeney and Ashley Davis. Cormac also tours and records with his brothers Fionán and Éamonn in the family group, Barcó. Besides his busy performing schedule, he regularly gives workshops and masterclasses around the world. About ''Songbird'': When ''The First Lady of Celtic'', Voice of Clannad, Grammy Winner Moya Brennan, delivers Christine McVie's classic Fleetwood Mac ballad Songbird, you can't go wrong. Moya and Cormac's subtle personalization of the song, only makes it more intimate... and yes, a bit Celtic as well. Contemplative world music with that ubiquitous melody and lyric. Glorious! Engineered by daughter Aisling Jarvis and produced by LA Producer/Engineer Lynne Earls, this Songbird is a gem.
