    "Ambitious and eclectic, debutante Eithne Ní Chatháin stretches herself to her outer limits, cherrypicking from some of the finest songs and tunes in the English and Irish tradtions. Her mournful, unadorned reading of Fáinne Geal An Lae is particularly affecting, and her musky interpretation of Sandy Denny's Who Knows Where the Time Goes is evidence of a keenly tuned ear. Sweet echoes of Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss haunt Pretty Bird." - Siobhán Long, The Irish Times, 2/3/'07

Bio:

Eithne Ní Chatháin’s beautiful voice and captivating singing bring a transcendent quality to her performances. Steeped and deeply rooted in traditional music, sean-nós song and the Irish language, she embraces this heritage while simultaneously branching out to explore & enrich it in fresh, contemporary ways. Her assured fiddle playing and original songs dovetail with a natural grace and lightness of presence to nurture an audience with sounds of deep emotion and rare beauty. Tá cumas thar cuimse i nguth Eithne Ní Chatháin dul i bhfeidhm ar a lucht éisteachta agus í á dtabhairt léithe san áit ina bhfuil sí féin, san amhrán. Tá an ceol traidisiúnta, an sean-nós agus an teanga go smior inti. Bíonn radharc aici ar an dúchas sin i gcónaí agus í ag déanamh a cuid féin dó, á leathnú amach chun cur leis i slite úra, comhaimseartha. Trína ceol fidle cumasach agus a cuid amhráin nua-chumtha, trína grástúlacht nádúrtha agus an cur i láthair atá aici, éiríonn le hEithne a lucht éisteachta a shásamh agus í á gcothú le ceol atá doimhin le mothúchain agus áilleacht ar leith ag baint leis. Tá teacht i láthair cumhachtach aici agus bíonn sí os cionn a buille le muinín i mbun a ceirde ar stáitse.
