about

Driftwood was, according to Norse mythology, what the two first human beings were shaped from. The tale goes that three gods found the two pieces of driftwood on the shore and bestowed upon them the gifts of life and spirit. The title of this CD is therefore partly a connection to my Nordic roots, it is also taken from one of my songs on the CD in which driftwood becomes something we take from the shore maybe in an attempt to hold on to life.

A big thank you to Ian for all his help with this album. A special wedding gift, which gave me a chance to do something I've always wanted to do. Thanks to Hamish for adding the beautiful concertina. Thank you to friends and family for all your encouragement. Most of all to my husband and children for your support and love.
