Can anyone tell me about Mary Dillon

Can anyone tell me about Mary Dillon

Can anyone tell me if Mary Dillon has any other cd's out other than Deanta's 3 cd's which I play reguraly. Mary has the most finest voice singing songs like Culloden's Harvest.
I'd love to hear more of Mary's singing

Re: Can anyone tell me about Mary Dillon

I have looked for other recordings by her and not seen any, more's the pity. I know Ptarmagin (where is that guy, lately, anyhow?) mentioned about a year ago that he has seen her singing, but I guess she doesn't do it professionally any more (or at least professionally recorded any more).
Wonderfully talented and gifted singer!

Re: Can anyone tell me about Mary Dillon

Mary was (still is I assume) married to Paul, the guitarist in Oige - whose own singer was her little sister Cara.

Apart from the Deanta CDs, I have one recording of them at the 1994 Arran Folk Festival.

You're right - she's a far better singer than most. Cara is good, but IMO Mary is better.
