Mother

About this album

A labor of love for singer-songwriters Cathie Ryan, Susan McKeown, and pianist-songwriter Robin Spielberg, ‘Mother’ is a collection of songs that will resonate deeply with anyone who has ever had a mother, is a mother, or is likely to become a mother! The CD features 14 songs, including beautiful traditional Celtic lullabies and new original songs and instrumentals that explore the mother-child relationship.

Special guests on the recording include Johnny Cunningham on fiddle, Joanie Madden and Cillian Vallely on whistles, Áine Minogue on harp and Gerry O’Beirne and Gerry Leonard on guitars, to name but a few.
