about

A song inspired by the life of one of the Isle of Man’s most important cultural icons, Mona Douglas.

Composed by Breesha Maddrell, she writes:
"Years ago, Bob Carswell rediscovered a tune collected by Mona Douglas which we performed at a 'Spirit of Mona' evening at the 2004 Yn Chruinnaght Inter-Celtic Festival. I thought that it would be a good starting place for a song about how Mona's writings pointed to a sense of loneliness, countered sometimes by the peace of the 'space between' and her recognition that we are always journeying. In true collaborative style, I wrote the first verse and Bob and Aalin quickly provided the other two."

This song was first released as a part of 'Mona's Isle: The Legacy of Mona Douglas' in 2017.
