Among the tracks featured on the record are Christy Hennessey's 'Remember Me'. She will also perform songs from her Celtic Woman days.
Orla, native from Knockananna in Co Wicklow, is an original member of the group Celtic Woman. Orla has toured extensively in North America with the group and since she left.
