Valparaiso by Rita Connolly; Produced by Shaun Davey

Valparaiso is an album with a strong sense of place. Typical is the title track 'Valparaiso' which takes its name from a port on the coast of Chile. This song was written by Rita and features a family chorus that includes her parents. Rita who was once described as one of the great guarded treasures of Irish music has opened up her treasure chest of talent to present us with songs that range from powerful epic like 'The Only True History of Lizzie Finn'.

The music of Rita Connolly has such wide appeal that there is something for everybody on this album and as with all of her work it is delivered with a natural ease and clarity that never fails to please an audience.
