Absolutely gutted. It was Máire's voice and harp that first awakened/reawakened my love for folk, first via the Robin of Sherwood soundtrack as a teen, then picking up Magical Ring and Macalla.

From there my tastes in folk both trad and contemporary spiralled out in all directions, which continues to this day.

Only saw Clannad live twice, but they were magic. I knew she'd had a lot of troubles along the way though, and hope she found peace.

Oh wow. I've just been randomly browsing stuff, and I then come across this performance of Danny Boy by Sinéad o'Connor from 1993, which has 5.3m views now. I don't know if I've heard this live version before. Fragile, soft, haunting, emotive, completely unaccompanied, sad, gut-wrenching; there's much I could say about it. Though I will say: give it a listen, but having tissues nearby may be advised. #Music #Ireland #FolkMusic

The mix is finally done. Exporting the tracks now and getting ready to send everything off for mastering.
Way more work than I expected, but I learned a ton along the way.
Next step: artwork.
