Acknowledgements
Firstly, I wish to thank Janet Harbison, who taught me the harp. Over the years she has offered me much advice, shared her knowledge and experience, and provided me with many opportunities. I would also like to acknowledge all those musicians whose playing has influenced my style, particularly Bernie Geraghty, who taught me the concertina. Thanks also to Patrick Dalgety and Debra Salem of Green Dolphin Studios; Siobhán Ní Chonaráin and Brian McNamara for their help with the background details on tunes; the Brady family, Belfast, for their support and hospitality and Rüdiger Oppermann for his encouragement. Special thanks to John Brady, Michael Cassidy, Patrick Davey, Brendan McGlinchey and Peter Ratzenbeck for giving me permission to use their compositions. I would like most of all to thank my parents Michael and Mary, sisters Niamh and Róisín and extended family for their help, advice and encouragement at all times.

The Harp
The harp used on this recording is a nylon-strung, neo-Irish harp, made by Larry Egar of Co. Cork.

Recording
Recorded and mastered by Patrick Dalgety at Green Dolphin Studios, Belfast (December 1998) except Tracks 13, 15, and 16 recorded and engineered by Kai Schlünz, at Katapult Tonstudio, Karlsruhe (November 1996)

Produced by Gráinne Hambly, Patrick Dalgety and Debra Salem

The CD was originally produced by Shamrock Records.
