A great strong voice suitably accompanied in her own unique style .
Got her on my favourites with She Moved Thro the fair along with Sean Tyrell and Davy Spillane's "One Starry Night"

A very special voice- style partly formed from years of street singing.

I recall a very ignorant RTE radio host who did a long spiel on the lines of 'is this the worst singer in the world'? and then played this track (or it may have been 'She moved through the Fair- it was years ago) - I was appalled but now realise the depth of ignorance in the commercial music world.

Tell you one thing, RTE are running a poll for the 'best folksong in Ireland'- bet it won't be this one!

An amazing voice, the only one to compare was the Scottish singer Jeannie Robertson.

Times change ... Thomas Mc Carthy, a singer from the same Traveller tradition, is this year’s Singer of the Year on TG4 (Bilingual Irish TV station) - and deservedly so.
