Nóirín Ní Riain’s debut solo album for Living Music, and the first contemporary production of her music, introduces the Celtic Singer in a new light. Singing in a personal style unique to herself, Nóiriín represents the confluence of several traditions, including sean nos (old style), classical and contemporary. Yet her singing defies categorization.
