The recent ALBUM ‘‘STORYBOOK’ – THE SONGS OF BRENDAN GRAHAM” by CATHY JORDAN & FEARGAL MURRAY was launched at Swords Castle January ’24 as part of Dublin TRADFEST, followed by a nationwide tour and a performance at CELTIC CONNECTIONS in Glasgow.

“Jordan doesn’t just sing the melody, she inhabits the whole song and sings it from the inside out”

“the playing throughout is impeccable”

Upon it’s release the single ‘WINTER BLESSING” became the most played track on RTE RADIO 1 for 3 weeks running

They also performed at the RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards in Vicar St February ’24, doing the Shane Mac Gowan song KITTY as part of his memorial section. It was introduced by his sister Siobhan and the event was recorded by RTE TV and attended by President MD Higgins. They have since recorded a studio version of the song and plan to release it in the Autumn ’24.

STORYBOOK- The songs of Brendan Graham, sung by Cathy Jordan (Dervish) and accompanied by Feargal Murray (Camille O’ Sullivan, Jimmy McCarthy) was released on 19th January 2024, with the debut single ‘A WINTER BLESSING’ released 1st December. This ten-track album traverses the lines between old tradition and more modern folk tradition. Songs on the album include ‘Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears’, ‘Waltzing Alone’ ‘Sleepsong’ and ‘Winter Fire & Snow’.
