A Stretch of Light releases on Friday the 21st of August. With shades of darkness and light, it’s bound to bewitch you. Storytelling is at the heart of this album with songs inspired by the battle of Rathangan town (Tar Aníos) alongside personal stories of family (Mornings Past, Rita’s Song) and a dreamy ‘I love you because’ lullaby (After Midnight). This seven track folk album will hold you close with its understated simplicity and sentiment. “These songs exist because of my grá for storytelling and music. Songwriting is an act of remembering and sharing that I really treasure”

Mornings Past is the first single from Niamh Keane's upcoming album 'Stretch of Light'. It's a reflective folk song, personal to her. She says, "I enjoy playing with word painting and metaphors, combining descriptive words to paint pictures in a song". Changing time signatures and Keane’s warm melodic vocal lines sweep us into the ebb and flow of this tender song with its soft guitar, piano and string sounds.

Written and produced by Niamh Keane. Vocals recorded by engineer Declan Lonergan. All other tracks recorded by engineer Elise Mollé.
