PRESENTING
"I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland but for simple beauty Cape Breton outrivals them all".
~Alexander Graham Bell
Exciting music ensembles using violin, piano, Celtic harp, Uilleann pipes, Highland bagpipes, wooden flute, penny whistle, mandolin, fiddle and steel, classical & acoustic guitars.
Hear the beautiful, authentic DAT recordings of water lapping against the shores of Lake Ainslie, the roar of the waves on the Atlantic Ocean (Thank you, Mac Morin!) and wind chimes.

This is one of the most listenable and enjoyable recordings to come a long in ages. From the opening notes of Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral to the close of Rock-a-Bye Baby almost 80 minutes later, this is something that you'll listen to over and over again.
With 40-plus musicians mixing and matching on 28 different cuts, this is a very different recording. It certainly has some of the most unusual combinations of musicians that I've ever run across, not just on the CD as a whole but on some of the individual cuts as well.
Recorded at Award-Winning Lakewind Sound Studios, the CD contains Mi'kmag, French, Gaelic and English songs. There are fiddle tunes and piano solos. Pipes, whistles and harps pop up in the most unexpected places. You'll find hymns, classical pieces and well-used campfire songs among the cuts, as well as tunes and songs that get their first commercial airing.
Over a year and a half, this CD was recorded live in an award winning studio.
Timeless Celtic Lullabies comprises 80 minutes of over 30 diverse Celtic artists using an amazing collection of instruments and vocal talents.
In this group of tunes you will hear authentic DAT recordings of water lapping against the shores of Lake Ainslie, the roar of the waves on the Atlantic Ocean (Thank you Mac Morin!) and wind chimes.
Sweet Dreams…

"My whole family loves it! It makes a great gift! Where can I buy more copies?"
"CD is great, soothing! I just ordered three and plan to purchase many more as presents for friends and family. A perfect gift and not just for little ones! Great talent. I love the cover also."
"I bought one for my granddaughter, but I loved it so much I need another one for my boat. The music is so enjoyable! I feel as though it could calm and sooth the rough Hawaiian Seas. It gives me great pleasure to listen to your CD while sailing."
Eileen is passionate about preserving the timeless sounds of these Celtic Lullabies and eagerly shares her musical work with all of those around her.
Eileen produced the CD so that she could share the beauty of the music with generations to come. She sells the CD so that she can help to fund children's musical programs within Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. She generously donates a large portion of her CD proceeds to local schools for the purchase of instruments for the children.
Sweet Dreams!
