I love W B Yeats' 'Lake Isle of Innisfree' and fully agree with the comments below,from a review of 'Threads of Time'


'Cherish the Ladies, Threads of Time
Joanie Madden, Mary Coogan, Mary Rafferty, Donna Long, Siobhan Egan, Aoife Clancy
This album is a classic, a must-have. Aoife's silken voice makes each song an intimate experience. Each tune, ballad or jig, is strong. Best, however, is Yeats poem, "The Lake Isle of Innisfree", to which Aoife's music is hauntingly beautiful. Aoife is related to the Clancy Brothers.'
