MARIA FORDE SOLO - OUT
NOW
Maria Forde is a fine singer
and a gifted songwriter. Like all good songwriters her lyrics often
reflect an understanding of, and compassion for the human
condition, with all it's triumphs and disasters, all it's bright
peaks and dark corners........at her live performances she presents
her songs with sincerity, passion and more than a dash of humour,
and these very human attributes, along with her fine singing voice,
is why she invariably establishes such a seemingly effortless
rapport with her audiences....
ERIC BOGLE MAY 2011

'Solo' is a recording my
listeners have been requesting for years – 'We just want to hear
you singing without lots of backing... it's your voice we want to
hear'.
It has taken me this long
to have the confidence to record myself with just my own guitar for
accompaniment. This recording has given me the opportunity to sing
songs as you may hear them at one of my solo concerts. It is also
an opportunity to re-visit some of my most requested songs,
introduce you to some new ones, and indulge in a few of my personal
favourites. True, there are 'live' moments with a few stray notes,
but I hope that you get the spirit and sincerity of my storytelling
– and the raw emotion behind every word.
Maria will be launching
her new album at the National Celtic Festival, Portarlington on
saturday June 11th at 2pm at Parkes Hall
