“My first solo album. After years of teamwork here I was at last with my own blank canvas. Both daunting and exciting. I was 8 months pregnant when I finished in the studio so those last few days were touch and go. I’d come across Calum’s (my co-producer) name through his work with The Blue Nile. Great musicality and loads of dramatic space. I’d known Donal (the other co-producer) for years and regarded him as the godfather of contemporary Irish traditional music! Calum, Donal and I inspired each other to produce an album which took my background as a starting point but spread its wings to incorporate influences from a lot of the ‘world’ music – African, Bulgarian, Asian and others- that I was listening to at the time. My sisters (we call ourselves The Jeannettes when we’re messing around) had the time of their lives and provided the album with the unique feel that only a Brennan party in full swing can achieve!”
