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

I tend to listen to the classical composers: Rachmaninov, Satie.

When I was growing up, I'd be in the choir. My mum was the organist in the church, so I'd sing in the church.

You know love is everything you say A whisper, a word Promises you give You feel it in the heartbeat of the day You know this is the way love is

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

I do promotion when it is necessary, but I always want to get back to the music.

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