A Note From Jon : - This is one of those beautiful albums which sadly escape the attention of many people, Niamh has a wonderful voice, and the music captures many influences from pop to folk and Celtic. For some reason this album has become rare and difficult to find, especially a copy in good condition, and when they do turn up for sale they can be expensive, I hope in sharing this, you'll take the opportunity to enjoy it.
