Moya will be hosting a PBS series

[Grania]

Moya said something a while ago about it, said she was recording a song with each of the people she was interviewing....or have I got the wrong end of the stick? (I hope not! What I wouldn't give to hear Moya singing óró sé do bheatha abhaile!)

[nessieq]

ooooh ok I dont think I had read about that. So all of the tracks are duets??

[wonky_eggs]

Woo hoo! That CD track listing looks great! Moya, Sinéad O'Connor, Damien Dempsey, Dónal Lunny and Paul Brady - all smashing musicians *does a little happy dance*

I got the impression from previous posts on here that they're all duets, so fingers crossed.

That's the way I understood it too, G, so if you've got the wrong end of the stick, so have I! Hopefully, we'll find out soon enough!

Even better! Moya duets with all those artists It's like Christmas!

It's called "Music of Ireland: Welcome Home". It's available from Barnes & Noble here. It looks like the CD & the DVD come together.

Enjoy!

You're the One

I wonder is this the track she did with Shane Mc Gowan a few years back?

[dream]

surprised to see Sinead O'Connor in the video,dunno why
little boy with a drum looks very impressive,
he's so serious!))..and it's funny the way Moya
say "muusical journey" sounds kinda "maaagical journey"
to me,sorta fairytale makes me smile.
all in all a nice item to have

Just seen the new front page for the website. Veeery nice Moya and Tim! Thanks Really made me smile - I needed that!

[A_S]

Oh, I love the new front page! And new tour dates were announced! Here's hoping that I can make it to a show this spring!

I was very excited when Moya tweeted about the PBS show. I just bought the companion CD/DVD at Barnes and Noble, too. It's such a wonderful way to get Moya's music heard by a lot of people in America.

This CD is a great news. I'll buy it, for sure!!!

According to the back cover art, Moya sings DUETS on the following tracks on the CD:

Track 3: Lullaby for the Dead (duet with The Chieftains)
Track 6: Forgotten (duet with Órla Fallon)
Track 12: You're the One (duet with Shane MacGowan)
Track 13: Is Mise 'n Ghaoth/The Lass of Aughrim (with Anúna & ft. Iarla Ó Lionaird).

But the entire DVD of Part 1 of Music of Ireland: Welcome Home is included. I believe it states Region Free, NTSC 16:9 aspect ratio, Dolby 2.0 stereo and Dolby 5.1 surround.
