I figured I'd document some additional details about Hibernia here for reference purposes, since searching through Facebook for this information can be a bit cumbersome, particularly on a mobile device.

Hibernia is an old name for Ireland.

Some other people involved:
  • Colm Ó Foghlú
  • Liam Bates (orchestration)
  • Synan O Mahony (dresses)
  • Jen Keogh Reilly (hair / make up)
  • Lili Forberg (photography)
  • Stephen Scariff (dancing)

Release date:
Máiréad's hoping for February or March 2017. ... Update: Could release by the end of 2016.

When is recording expected to start?
August 2016

Mairead let us know that the beautiful Colm Ó Foghlú song "There Is No Night" is on Hibernia!

Note: Some might know the song as "There Is No Light" depending on which version of Raining Up you have.

I'm sure most have seen this already, but for those who miss it, here is a clip from "The Dusk & The Dark & The Dawn" (by Colm Ó Foghlú), performed by Mairead:

Looks like Simon Morgan (the lucky hubby of Lisa Lambe) is lending vocals to Hibernia:

In case there was any doubt, Mairead will be wearing Synan dresses for her concerts in Hong Kong.

Today is the big day of us pledgers!

I think there's a wee technical issue with the link at the moment (it's still pointing to just the single Becoming).

There's a flood of comments about the link and download availability at the moment and I'm sure they're aware and working on it at this point.

I'm sure it will be well worth waiting a few hours longer.  :D

Argh! I'm so impatient. I'm frustrated by the one person who keeps giving wrong information in response to people mentioning the tech issues. That's bugging me more than having to wait honestly.

Currently downloading a zip file. Fingers crossed folks.


And it would totally help if I had a file extractor on my computer. Oops!

They got the Hibernia album download to be visible at last (not just the single)!

Here we go boys and girls!!!!

OMG Mairead!

Hibernia is so good!

I'm literally overwhealmed.

There's such incredible variety. There's something for everyone and lots for everyone to enjoy!

With so much variety, there's always the possibility you won't like absolutely everything about every track. It was like that for me with Deirdre Shannon's self-titled album, there was just so much variety that unless you like almost every type of music imaginable, there's bound to be tiny parts that you may not appreciate as much as others. Or you may just love it all.  :D

Lots of tracks had me jumping up and down and clapping along. Several tracks reduced me to tears they were so deeply moving.

I believe this album is available to the general public tomorrow. If you haven't heard it yet, you have to hear it!

It has a wide variety on it. There are four different arrangements of tracks that are on Raining Up, so if you start listening and think it sounds really familiar, that would be why.

I took the download, but haven't listened yet.

There Is No Night ... O ... M ... G!

It's even more beautiful than it was on Raining Up. Legitimate contender for my all-time favourite instrumental track!

I figured we should keep album info separate from album reviews. If we get a few reviews going, it may start to get cluttered like the Voices of Angels thread.

If you're looking for album reviews, here's the thread:
