Behave the bravest

"Behave the Bravest is an all-encompassing piece of work that draws on Nuala's significant experience as a writer, performer and collaborator; just as much as it draws on her deeply rooted love of Irish music. And it's among those Irish roots that the album opens, as Nuala's whistle introduces Lovely Armoy. This is a glowing example of Irish traditional song at its best ... As always with Nuala Kennedy, the album delights on a number of levels. She is as natural and gifted a flute player as you could hope to hear, her vocal performances are precise and charming, and her careful selection and arrangement of tune sets and songs results in an album that always has a surprise around the corner. On Behave the Bravest, Nuala Kennedy stays true to her roots, but also shows her mastery at adapting and finding a fresh angle from which to present her music".
