Ar Mhuin Na Muice

Despite a fifteen-years break from the music scene that followed the group’s split in 1985, Ní Mhaoileoin’s acapella training is evident in her sure, solid vocals. Her debut solo CD Ar Mhuin Na Muice (On The Pig’s Back) was produced by Alan Burke, formerly of the band Afterhours, who also contributes guitar and backing vocals to fine effect. While many of the songs here are well-known (‘Green Grows The Laurel’, ‘Stór a Stór a Ghrá’, ‘Bríd Óg Ní Mháile’), Ní Mhaoileoin manages to put her own individual twist on them, to bewitching effect.
