Talitha MacKenzie’s re-release of her internationally acclaimed album Spiorad (spirit), opens with the track “Fionnaghuala” (which she sang at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant). Primarily a Celtic music album, it includes songs & tunes from Highland Scotland, Bulgaria, Serbia and Brittany.
Originally released in 1996, this new edition features the track 'Spiorad Iain', dedicated to her husband, photographer Ian MacKenzie, whose exquisite images are featured in the liner notes (along with complete lyrics and translations).
Rousing dance songs, work songs, love songs and more, this is an album that is sure to lift your spirits.
