This is the Bonus CD of the newly released Tour Edition of
last years hitalbum "Signature".
Yes, it all makes sense and there are elements of these
qualities in many of the world's great singers. Yet it is
astounding that her voice goes from strength to strength. She
stands as an Irish icon with the world as her stage.
In her music making, Moya has never been content to nestle
within comfortable boundaries. From an early age she trod the
boards with her father Leo in the dance halls, then became
fixated with the likes of Joni Mitchell and the Beach Boys
before going on to share, with her band Clannad, an
enlightening discovery of the extraordinary wealth of Celtic
history and melody on her doorstep.
Clannad sent tremors through the world of traditional
music. With Harry's Game they took the Irish language and its
melodies to places that it had never been before. Top of the
Pops, major record contracts and world tours. The accolades
followed -Ivor Novello and BAFTA awards plus, after several
nominations, a Grammy award in 1999. Their music was fresh,
vibrant and progressive.
Alongside all of this, Moya has developed an individuality
which has already shown itself in her expanding body of work.
When an artist's career can often be measured in months, hers
spans decades. Through this clamorous journey, through school
halls, folk clubs, festivals, discos, churches, the world's
most renowned concert halls she has travelled purposefully and
always focused. The power of her whispered tones and the
beauty of her music touch the soul. Gently, yet persistently,
her songs and her music are redefining Irish music.
