We heard this lovely piece at the Fiddlers Green Festival 2011 in Rostrevor Northern Ireland. Steve is an amazing guitarist, singer and person and the whole concert was absolutely brilliant.
Andy Irvine co-wrote this song: "This was meant to be a song called 'The Two Sisters' that I found in a Cecil Sharpe collection many years ago. I'd always been a bit irked that some people, who recorded it subsequently, had seemingly not known that the tune-and some of the words-were mine. However, when we put the backing track down, Steve was entranced by it & decided it was "Faerie Music". We bandied around ideas for a week or two and one morning, when I woke up, this song greeted me".
