I love Celtic music and listening to it, but I just don't have the type of voice to sing it.

I used to go to a Gaelic class on a Saturday morning, but I never felt myself that I could speak it properly.

I'm rarely singing in English.

I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.

I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.

It wasn't so long ago that it was not popular to speak Gaelic in Ireland because the areas that Gaelic is spoken in were much poorer areas.

Singing beautiful melodies is one thing, but to deliver the text so that the people understand it, even in a foreign language, has to be worked at very hard.

Singing is a gift.

I can speak French, understand Gaelic and know my history. That's the training music has given me.

I have the soul of a singer and do splendidly in the shower but the world will never hear it. Basically, I'm the only Irish person who can't carry a tune.
