We must, however, be grateful that this 2020 pandemic will pass, loved ones will soon return to the warm embrace of family.<\/p>\n<p>The genesis of this CD was a conversation we had about songs from the past which were sung by our parents and grandparents. Songs that have always had a special place in our hearts. It was due to the &#8216;cuairds&#8217; we were on as children when we visited kind neighbour&#8217;s homes. Whilst there, we would be<span><span><span><span><span> expected to perform the songs of yore and were encouraged by the applause we received. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span>We realise the importance of preserving these songs, which are a chronicle of this country\u2019s often troubled and complex history, for the present generation. Being mindful of the social, cultural and historical import of each song, we created a musical collage representing the rich tapestry that is Ireland\u2019s heritage. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span>This CD will comprise of 12 pieces, <\/span><\/span>nine songs by <span><span>us \u2013 sisters Siobh\u00e1n and Marie O\u2019Sullivan <\/span><\/span><span>&#8211;<\/span> and three sets of tunes <span><span> with Mark Donnellan on fiddle, the Tulla C\u00e9ili\u00ed Band, John Canny on accordion and Michael Landers on guitar.
