Niamh Parsons has come to be known as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish music. Described in the Boston Herald as both emotionally haunting and tonally as clear as crystal, Niamh's albums have been 'must-have' collector's items for any lover of songs and singing. Niamh has recorded six studio albums and two live albums to date. For the last 24 years, Niamh has been playing in a duet with Ennis-based Graham Dunne—there is a spiritual bond between Niamh and Graham when they perform, which draws out the essence of the songs.
"Niamh Parsons' voice has always set her apart from most of her peers..."
-Siobhán Long IRISH TIMES
"Niamh of the Golden Voice! Her lovely ornamentation breathes new life into these beautiful songs."
-Andy Irvine
"Niamh Parsons is a fine, real-deal traditional singer, and with Graham Dunne 's forward-looking accompaniment, you could call their time-melting music old Guinness in a new bottle." -Glenn Weiser
“If you had to describe an album and a singer as a food or drink, could you pick a menu to match any given artist? Well for me Niamh Parsons would be a full blooded Spanish Rioja, a deep rich wine, full of character, with a hint of iron behind a complex blend of experience and flavours.”
