background
at the time

Having recorded an instrumental atmospheric album Healing Waters, the band wanted a CD to show what they do live. Alternating songs and jigs & reels with the odd ballad and even a blues The Water Is Wide is just that.

Retrospect

This album is many people's souvenir of a great night out with Govannen. Adele's fiddle is the real star of the album.
