She's been living in Scotland for a quarter of a century, but you can't take the Irish out of her voice, or her music. As Tanya with her band Sneaky Moon, as vocalist in Scots country outfit Nevada, and in time spent running a Scottish Country Music agency, her link to that transatlantic stream of Irish/Scots music is as strong as her vocal ability – and she includes Eleanor McEvoy's US hit 'A Woman's Heart' here. Donovan's 'Catch The Wind' makes it, as does Burns' 'Ae Fond Kiss' and various band settings of contemporary compositions among the trad.
