A collaboration of original spoken poetry accompanied by music from six musicians from Ireland and UK varying in style from jazz - with saxophone, drums, clarinet, flute, bass guitar, trumpet, to world music - mbira, hang drum, ngoni African harp to sweet and mellow riffs by classical guitar and cello.
A collection of lively and reflective poetry that takes the listener on a journey from the bars of San Francisco to Tibet, Nepal and the quiet of the Dublin mountains in the everyday world of motherhood . A booklet with the lyrics is also included.

about

This album was recorded in the spirit of adventure and improvisation with six different musicians most of whom I have worked with over the years in live performance and some of whom were jumping in and experimenting. The poems were spoken and music was created to work with them. Recording was done in live sessions by Mark Ellison and his mobile studio at my home in the Dublin mountains and we had a wonderful time playing together. Mastering is by Stephen Gethings. Catherine deBruin is responsible for the beautiful artwork. Thanks to all who collaborated in this creative journey.
