Clare Sands – Awe na Mná (Praise The Women)
Ladies assemble.
Fancy a song to to mark International Women’s Day?
Read on.
The press blurb says:
“It was a sight to behold – young, old, brave, bold. 100 women on four beaches in the four corners of Ireland, celebrating sisterhood in all its colours. Men fled as women marched, danced, sang, howled and embraced the Dublin, Connemara, Belfast and Cork sands and tides.
“Led by fearless fiddler, bilingual singer & multi-instrumentalist Clare Sands, ‘Awe na Mná’ is the powerful, energetic, and fierce celebration of women through the ages.
“Paying homage to the likes of Gráinne Mhaol, Countess Markievicz, Queen Maeve, Maggie Barry and modern day Irish women the Debenhams Workers, it is a battle cry, a fervent call, a rebel yell, and a passionate proclamation to sing and dance in awe of mná.”
Clare writes:
“The gatherings of women all over the country were joyful, empowering and fierce – and I could think of no better time to release Awe na Mná than International Women’s Day.
“I wrote the song on Inisheer and while I was there, I was struck by how resilient, fearless, and strong the women were. This song reflects on the past, embraces the present & strives towards a brighter future for women in Ireland and all over the world.”
Nick says: Come dance with them in Ireland.
