The new CD called ‘Éalú‘,
(pronounced Ay-lou) is released on the label Dioscaí Mandala and will
be available digitially and from my website. It featurs 22 contributors
and myself.
Singing on the new album is Aoife Doyle, Kokia, Uché G. Akujobi and U.S. actress/singer Vanessa Williams (Desperate Houswives).
Also participating are musicians, Gavin
Ralston, Aongus Ralston, Aoife Doyle, Roger Doyle, Fiachra Trench, Steve
Cooney, Niwel Tsumbu, Brian Dunning, Paul McAteer, Robbie Harris, Seán
Whelan, Eamon Murray, Seamus Brett, Michael Considine, Jaimé Muñoz,

You can hear on this website an
11-minute spoken introduction by me with a snippet of each track, along
with visuals from the sleeve notes by clicking on the Ealú icon to the
left of this page. The cover was designed by Robert Ballagh and the
overall design of the CD booklet and notes is by Ian McFarlane.
The CD will be launched formally in early March 2012.
