"Matthews shines on the ballads, caressing the lyrics and letting the music do what it's supposed to do."

iTunes Download

L'annmoor is the result of the collaborative efforts of two award winning International recording artists: champion Irish harpist, Lynn Saoirse and American jazz standards singer, Sue Matthews.

For this global collaboration the two formed the duo, Súil, which in Irish means both ‘hope’ and ‘eyes.’

This collection of 13 songs, penned mostly by top contemporary Irish songwriters, will take you on a gentle journey of the heart.

They are joined by some of Ireland's beloved traditional instrumental soloists: Máirtín O'Connor, accordion; Nollaig Casey, fiddle and Cormac Breatnach on low whistle; Liz Kane, fiddle; Garry O'Briain on guitar; and American cellist, Abby Newton.

With the combined efforts in the studio of James Blennerhassett on acoustic bass, Frank Kilkelly on guitar and Bruno Staehelin on percussion, L'annmoor is a true gem and worth your time for the listen.
