I play the flute and sing. Am still working on doing both at the same time! In my spare time I make pictures, and buy one-stringed wooden instruments which don't last.
I am privileged to be touring at the moment with mulit-instrumentalists Luke Daniels, Mike Galvin, Tory McGillivray and Mario Caribe - a phenomenal combination.
Oliver Schroer and I just finished recordng our duo album 'Enthralled' and it sounds so fine! I'll put some tracks up here soon. It's really a rare mix of things..... it reminds me of a book of short stories.
The New Shoes album is out and in the shops- It features myself and the exquisite Claire Mann on flutes with accompaniment by two of the best - Julian Sutton and Marc Clement, and we are joined by some really great players.
I am currently writing some new songs and music, inspired by a residency last year at Artomi in New York with 12 great musicians from around the world and by the Burnsong Songhouse residency in Dumfries, Scotland with seven amazing Scottish singer-songwriters.
As well as my next album, I am also working on a few other projects including 'Kaleidoscope' a new collaboration for 2009 with French Flamenco-Jazz guitarist extraordinaire Philippe Guidat.

Annwyl Nuala Sut mae! - hope you are ok, seems you have a packed and exciting musical schedule, hope it all goes well and I hope one day to able to see you perform. Just out of interest I've been working on a poetic translation of the folk song "Coinleach Ghlas an Fhomair" and have put a version on my space - be great if you could let me know what you think - particularly if you know the original. Also, if you know any poets from ireland or scotland who want to network I'd love to hear from them. Slainte

Dear Irish friends and friends of Europe, I am a citizen of a EU member state. In my country, we have not been allowed to vote on the future of Europe. You, our friends in Ireland, alone have this right and are called to vote on the "Lisbon Treaty" on June 12th.
I reject this Treaty as undemocratic in conception and in content. Please, vote NO on this Treaty for me as a first step to building a common social, ecological, democratic and peaceful Europe.
Hi Nuala, Found your performance schedule. You are one busy lady! I will be over during Blas. I am really looking forward to seeing you perform again! I hope all is going well for you. Prudence
