Where I Play:
I've been playing and recording with my husband, Len Graham since 1982. You could say that we fell in love through a song. I heard him singing 'The Ballyronan Maid' at a traditional music festival. We've been involved ever since in music and song as performers and researchers and take part in many traditional music festivals, both in Ireland and abroad, especially in Scandanavia. Next year we'll be giving a concert/lecture tour in the U.S.A.
We also perform with leading Irish poets like Michael Longley, Seamus Heaney and Nuala N铆 Dhomhnaill. The poetry bonds well with the song.
Another outlet for my singing is at funerals which I consider a great honour. Somehow I'm able to transmit the collective grief of the occasion through the song. I don't sing to order. Rather there's 2 or 3 laments that I feel work. I've no difficulty in talking about death - two of my siblings have had sudden unexpected deaths. I'm at ease with the otherworld.
