★★★★
MATT MCGINN is a Northern Ireland based singer-songwriter with five previous albums. This current album came about after being asked to take part in a community engagement programme that involved playing with a Loyalist flute band.
Coming from a Catholic background, he admits he found that terrifying, but he felt able to establish a common connection through growing up during the troubles.
