At Home in our Hearts
All of the songs on the album were written in Ireland, and all are original compositions, very personal to us, from our experiences since coming here to live. We continue to work on the house, and it's coming together slowly but surely. It's now warm and comfortable, and a great place to get together with friends to make music.
We also have a full digital studio for making recordings and mastering CDs.
It's a magical place and seems to suit creative endeavours. When we came here and people found out we were musicians, they told us that the valley was known as the 'Valley of the Poets' and had always been home to musicians, singers and poets. So it seems that we were truly meant to live here.

Morecambe Bay
Quite simply, a set of songs we like to sing, with choruses for a good old sing song. Plus two of Marie's own compositions from the time we lived beside Morecambe Bay in Lancashire.

Marie's song 'Morecambe Bay' has been compared to the great folk song 'Streets of London', and we don't think you can have a better recommendation than that!
