In terms of albums of her own, no, there isn't, so you haven't missed
anything vital. But THERE IS a new track done for 'Common Ground -
voices of modern Irish music', released May 1996. Compiled and produced
by Donal Lunny (a well known folk musician in Ireland).

Details:
CD = EMI Premier 7243 8 37691 2 4
track = 'Mna Na h-Eireann'

Oh yes, she sings it in Irish! (clever girl). I think the score is a
traditional Irish melody, except I think I'm correct in that the lyrics
are new cos the album is supposed to be about new Irish material. The
only quibble I have with the track is that it should at least 2 or 3
times longer than it is (seems to be over rather quick). But then you
could program the CD to play it twice. (or over & over ad nausium...)

Interesting to note that its coyright is retained by Novercia Ltd (not
EMI).

The other tracks (one each) are by: Bono & Adam Clayton, Paul Brady,
Maire Brennan (of Clannad), Elvis Costello (yes really), Tim & Neil
Finn, Andy Irvine, Brian Kennedy, Davy Spillane & Donal Lunny, Christy
Moore, Sinead O'Connor, Liam O Maonlai, Sharon Shannon. They're a mix of
English & Irish lyrics.

Visually the CD can be recognised by a general dark green theme and a
circular Celtic decoration motif. The front is mainly white with a thin,
wide picture of a wild landscape across the middle. It's likely listed
as 'Easy Listening'.

While I'm on the subject it might be worth mentioning that 'Christmas
Will Be Magic Again' unexpectedly (or so I thought) popped up on the
No.1 Chistmas Album double CD (Polygram 525 978-2, 1995). If loads of
you knew that already, don't tell me.
