A fitting tribute to one of Ireland’s greatest songwriters, Brendan's songs have been performed across the world. Among songs he has written are "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" and "The Voice", both of which won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland in their respective years, and "You Raise Me Up", which was an international hit recorded by various artists, including Josh Groban, with versions in over 60 languages,

 

This Live show includes Cathy and Feargal's ten track performances of this incredibly moving album that traverses the lines between the old tradition and a more modern folk tradition. Songs that include 'Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears', 'Waltzing Alone' 'Sleepsong', and 'Winter, Fire & Snow' all penned by the incredible man that is Brendan Graham.
