Oona McOuat

Once upon a time she was a war correspondent, a wild dolphin swimmer, a teacher, a clown... Now, rooted in the earthy and the ethereal, an alchemist of song, Oona’s evocative Celtic harp and piano entwine with her pure voice to evoke a primal beauty. Sweet and soulful, her new album Honey and Holy Water flows with urgency and wonder. The honey bees are disappearing. The oceans are in peril. It’s been 40 years since Woodstock (the only cover tune on the disc). Will we make it "back to the garden" before the jig is up? From the fun and funky re-creation of the trad tune Drowsy Maggie to the heartfelt plea for preservation of The Wild Ones, this album reminds us of what is lost and what yet might be saved.
