Song for Brigid is a celebration of Brigid, a powerfully compassionate matriarchal leader who stood for fairness and justice for all. Song for Brigid heralds the coming of spring, and celebrates us moving from darkness into light: “Our prayers we raise to Brigid, woman of the earth, the winter it is leaving us, and the land is giving birth”. Acclaimed Connemara Sean Nós Singer Sarah Ghriallais collaborates on the track, adding some beautiful Gaeilge at the start of the song. To listen click on photo below.

The Song was yearning for feminine energy.”Brigid is a towering figure in Irish history. The song attempts to capture that spirit of the Gael in the song. Sarah’s unique and celebrated singing style draws from the deep well of the Gaelic tradition and way of life, which added new layers of depth and meaning to the song.” Sarah reads the spoken word part of the song in the Irish language which really gets to the heart of the song.
“Word rang through the valley, Everyone belongs, all on earth are welcome, to the banquet in the Sun”
