This CD is a beautiful, original and uplifting recording, of which you’ll never grow tired. A fine collaboration between two superb musicians, with backing from their friends, Midnight May Monday interpserses traditional Irish, British and Scandinavian music with original pieces by Karen Tweed and Timo Alakotila. Karen’s accordion playing is delicate, lyrical and sheer fun. She plays with passion, as does Finnish pianist Timo Alakotila. Jehanne’s Mehta's poem ‘Carillion’ was inspired by her first experience of this duo playing. ‘Midnight is when the relaxed time and real creativity begins; the moon can be full, bright and magical and the noise of the day has left, leaving the muse to creep in.’
