Café Irlandaise is an exciting collection of songs from modern Irish female vocalists who are lead singers in bands, duos or are going it solo. Their preferred styles include electronica, alternative pop, baroque, ambient, experimental and folk. Such diverse sounds sit together cheerfully on this ten track compilation - creating a warm, happy glow for the listeners’ enjoyment. The ladies hail from various parts of the island; their passion and talent captured in their song writing.

This compilation is a celebration of the unique sounds coming out of Ireland at the moment and hopefully it will bring you as much enjoyment as was had, when selecting the artists and tracks.
