There's something about Celtic mythology which is deep in the soul, and I just think that somehow she has tapped right into 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.

I am privileged to do a job I love to do. I would never change any moment from my life.

I didn't expect such a huge reaction, but I knew I was doing something different to everything else that was happening at the time.

I'm not one for walking the beaches humming a melody. I love the discipline of sitting in the studio, writing and listening. That is my domain.

I am really a very shy person. If I appear, it is because of the music, not because I want to be seen.
