Sparkling guitar instrumentals and velvet-tinged vocals, described
by The Rough Guide To Irish Music as "warm as a turf fire and as rich as
matured cognac An astonishing debut by a unique talent." Beautifully produced by Gerry O’Beirne, the recording features guest appearances from a number of traditional music luminaries – piper John McSherry, singer Niamh Parsons, bass player Trevor Hutchinson, cellist Kevin Murphy, fiddler Colm McCaughey, keyboard player Rod McVey, and of course O’Beirne himself. |
Don’t expect a big wash of sound, however. When Two Lovers Meet is above all a gentle album, spare and understated, with Sarah’s voice and guitar always to the fore.
