Description
Mary McPartlan follows her award winning and Mojo Folk Album of the Year release of 2004,'The Holland Handkerchief' with another blockbuster release. The new album represents her association with many high profile artists in the traditional music world and her lifelong friendship with the poet and playwright Vincent Woods. With the assistance of an Arts Council Deis award, Mary pursued the project which culminated in a new body of work which includes six new pieces of music. Three songs were written by Vincent Woods and set to music by Mairtín O’Connor including the title track. Two old Irish pieces originating from her native Drumkeerin were set to music by Brendan O’Regan and a new song in the Irish language from Connemara, music and lyrics by Padraig Ó hAoláin, translated by Tim Dennehy.
The CD represents her close association with the NUI Galway ‘Orbsen’ choir and the Romanian string quartet in residence in NUI Galway, ConTempo. The crafting, development and recording of all the material comes from her long association with the multi-instrumentalist and producer Seamie O’Dowd. Many of the tracks on the CD are deeply personal in their lyrics and are autobiographical, representing her life to the present day in their poetic and political expression. Artists appearing on Mary’s CD include Mairtín O’Connor, Brendan O’Regan, Gary O’Briain, Frankie Gavin, Cathal Hayden, Rick Epping, Eddie Lynch, Johnny ‘Ringo’ McDonagh to name but a few. The impeccable backing vocals came from Ruth Dillon, Bernie O’Mahony, Mary Staunton, Gemma and Laura McPartlan and her daughters Mairéad and Meabh Noonan.
