Deirdre Murtha is almost like family to me. Not only does she sing with my wife in The Johnson Girls but we all sing together as part of South Street Seaport Museum's sea music group, The New York Packet.

Having admitted the above, Deirdre is in my opinion easily the finest American-born singer of Irish songs. The rest of the group backs her very nicely and play tunes very well. I'm sure everyone will enjoy them in concert or on CD.

All the best, Dan Milner
