"Valley of the Tuatha Dé Danann" is not just an album; it is an exploration of the intricate relationships between the literary Tuatha Dé Danann, the ancient gods of Ireland, and the fairies or Sidhe of folklore. Through her music, Catherine Green invites listeners to delve into the mysteries of the Sidhe, the wisdom of Brig, and the healing powers of Fódla, all while enjoying a rich tapestry of sound that honors the legacy of the Fianna and the guardians of the sacred grove.
