  • Description

    Sleepsongs, an album of Suantrai: traditional Irish lullabies and songs relating to sleep from the 14th century to the present day, is once again available after a long absence from the catalogue.

    Join Dulra for a beautiful and dreamlike journey to the kingdom of sleep, a realm where mothers sweetly lull their infants to rest, faeries carry of babies to magical forests and mythic heroes wrestle through the night as they await their fate. Dulra brings a new sound to traditional Irish music with influences from early music, contemporary classical and world music styles.

    "As we listen we become possessed by the fascinating charismatic singer Caitriona O'Leary with her angelic and ethereal voice" Crescendo Magazine, Germany
