Hope has a place in a lover's heart.

My first language is Gaelic.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial; it was something very personal to me.

I do a so-called trip into myself: I sit down at the piano and the melody might start to evolve from my playing or then I might start to sing it.

I enjoyed the two years I was with Clannad. I enjoyed touring. We toured a lot in Europe.

It's very homely, this castle. It doesn't have huge ballrooms. I didn't want a cold, cavernous place.

Singing in Gaelic is very, very natural to do. I think lends itself very much so to being sung.
