Full interview on PBS Pressroom. In her solo work, Orla prefers simple arrangements and singing in Gaelic. “I think things sound better in Gaelic than they do in English. It’s a glorious, spiritual language.” And she writes her instrumental music on the harp. “I’ve tried it on the piano and it just doesn’t work for me,” she laughs. “Writing songs has to come naturally. I love the outdoors and gardening and I think of some of my lyrics when I’m outside walking. I’m a bit of a dreamer and am always daydreaming and songs most often come to me that way but melodies come when I’m sitting at the harp.”
Having fulfilled so many of her dreams, Orla has her sights set on winning a Grammy award someday. Moreover, she’s learned that “someday” is actually attainable. “When I was 16 and left school, I entered the Knockananna talent competition,” she remembers, “I could only play one song on the harp but I won. There was great excitement and people were saying to me “someday you’ll go to America and play in Carnegie Hall but I never really thought that someday would come. And now it has.” |

Here is a suggestion it have a "grammy" or award made from a trophy/ plauqe store but made from the fans and sent to her. Sent to the record company or to the address on here web site.

It would be refreshing to see any or all of Celtic Woman at the grammys. It would be the first person with any class in a long while. Frankly, I think a grammy is beneath Orla and all the rest. I like the idea of awards from the forum. It might mean more to them anyway.

It means the award for what you do and how you feel about it.
