“Dear Irish Boy”
Glas Records 2010 -  MEGCD02 – EP

Marianne Green’s debut album “Dear Irish Boy consists of 12 songs, two of which were written and composed by Marianne Green herself and one by her collaborator and producer, Martin O’Hare. The rest of the songs are traditional Irish songs mainly from Northern Ireland and especially from Co. Down. Co-producing the album is Andy Irvine, who is an icon in Irish music. He is particularly known to be one of the most innovative forces encapsulating the essence of tradition while adding new time signatures and chords.
Although the music is deeply rooted in Irish traditional music, it was important for Marianne Green to find songs open to her own interpretation. The songs that are not her own, are carefully researched and rarely recorded before. The album was recorded at Spring Records in Rostrevor in Co. Down N. Ireland where the beautiful and evocative natural surroundings matched the environment in which the songs were originally written.

“Oh go ye in by yonder town
Its there you’ll hear me crying
A guinea gold ring and the boys do sing
But my true love is dying”.
