  • Saw Maura in Bethlehem PA at Godfrey Daniels about 25 years ago with Jerry Douglas and Russ Barrenburg. On one song the guys gave her a note and she sang accapella for the first part of the song and when the instruments came in she was still perfectly in pitch. Not a small accomplishment!

  • Who wrote the song? She does sing the hell out of it.

  • @ebennett7

    The song was written by Jennifer Kimball and Tom Kimmel

  • Guess what - my wish came true, I saw Maura & John & Don perform this song last week at Celtic Connections! I was exhilarated. If my video is any good I'll upload it. so happy to have finally seen her live, it was superb.

    Cheers, Mo.

  • yes ... so much better than Linda Ronstadt's version ... I love Maura

  • Has anyone got a video of Maura singing " The Isle of Malachy" I think it is from her album called "Just in Time" but I'm not certain about that. Any links would be greatly appreciated.

    Slán agus Buíochas,

    Nollaig.

  • She performed this song several years ago in Kentucky, along with a whole set of great semi-traditional Irish songs, a stunning set of performances. But it was well over 90 degrees out, and Maura while being a beautiful lady is not a tiny girl, and the heat must have been horrendous for her...but she never showed it, and performed for over an hour and a half with great spirit and zeal. She is stunning to listen to, she puts her heart in her songs and belts them out every time!

  • I picked up on Mara 20 or so years ago, she just gets better and better. Thanks for the post

  • Awesome post, one of my favorite tunes.

  • Marvellous! Thnx for sharing. Great quality video. I'd love to see her live some day. Any idea who the musicians are?

    Cheers, Mo.

  • John Mock on guitar and Don Johnson on bass. I added this info to the video's description, thanks for asking, and thanks for your comment.

  • Good to know their names now, thanks! I found out that they're artists with successful careers and great music. Cheers, Mo.
