Gráinne’s forthcoming album 'Newcomer', produced by award winning musician and composer Mike Vass, is currently under production with guest musicians; Innes White (guitar), Andrew Waite (accordion), Michael Biggins (piano), Steve Forman (percussion), Christine MacGinley (French horn), Seonaid Aitken (violin), Sarah Leonard (viola), Su-a Lee (cello), Tina Jordan Rees (flute) and Jack Houston (spoken word). Newcomer will focus on the story of Norah Ryan, a literary heroine explored in MacGill’s novel The Rat Pit – Norah was a woman of strength and beauty, who nevertheless was vulnerable to poverty, sexual exploitation, and great emotional loss.
'Newcomer' will be one to watch, a promising CD, considering how Gráinne’s first album created such a lively buzz of interest. |
