Look out for a new star in the glittering firmament of great Irish singers: With the release of her new album IN LOVE AND LIGHT, Heidi Talbot is truly set to shine. After five years as lead singer with the Irish-American supergroup Cherish the Ladies, and high praise for her previous solo outing, 2004's DISTANT FUTURE, Talbot now extends her talents over a broader, bolder musical canvas, in company with a stellar cast of guests. Drawing on the full, diverse spectrum of influences that inform her singing, IN LOVE AND LIGHT complements fiddler John McCusker and flute/whistle ace Mike McGoldrick.
