We just came home from a really wonderful house concert with Eileen McGann. Wow!
She has a remarkable voice, and sings beautiful, positive, loving songs. Most of the songs she sang tonight had a chorus, and she encouraged the audience to sing along with her, which we did! Her anecdotes wrapped context and brought depth to her songs, and I was ( Read more... )

I have been a big fan of Eileen's for years but this was the first time I got to hear her in such an intimate and close setting. She is another one of those artists like Keelaghan, that I immediately felt a connection to and was drawn into there musical world. Loved her stories and getting to chat with her a bit and she wants to hear our version of her Medusa when we finish recording it.

Medusa is one of my favorities and I requested it along with one of my other favorites "Requiem (For the Giants).
She mentioned that she loves hearing covers of her songs.

Eileen Mcgann is wonderful as is David K her partner. I was in seventh heaven when they moved to Vancouver Island :) glad you had a wonderful time!!!

thanks for letting me know. Being in Columbus sometimes puts me right out of my home loops

She mentioned Pondside - I envy you! I had only seen her live before at the Mill Race Folk Festival several years ago. I added my name to her mailing list, so I won't miss any future opportunities to hear her sing (and I've loaded up my ipod with my new CDs!)

This would be what I would want in heaven too.

See you there someday! Grin!

Ah... that's a very philosophical question.

But if it works out, it would be great.

If that's the same "Medusa" which Mew sometimes sings (the one in which Medusa voluntarily ends her own misery), it's a great song.

yes... Eileen has long been my fav female folk singer and her art is lovely. David K is also a very talented musician and we were thrilled to host him at Pondside some years ago.
