We
all have dreams and there are people among us who earn their
living from ensuring other peoples dreams are realised. The
special moments in their lives are guaranteed to be time capsules full
of the very best and most memorable & perfect times of their lives.
Soprano Louise Harrison is one such person.
This
Limerick based beauty and former vocalist with Anúna is one of
Ireland’s finest female vocalists. Louise’s name may not
familiar to you yet but this will change with the release of her
debut solo album “Dream” on 5th December 2008. The release of this
album sees Louise realise her own dream.
When
asked ‘Why now?’ Louise replied…”My wonderful mum Gerdie and my
gorgeous Dad encouraged me from the day dot! “ …she continued – “I have
loved all elements of my career to date. The studying, the training, the
performing and the teaching – all of it. However, in recent years
in particular, the words that my late father John would say… ‘take a
risk, life is not a dress rehearsal’ replayed over and over in my
mind. I love my teaching and my live performances. I
had personally held the ambition of releasing my own CD for a few years
now and decided that 2008 was the year it was realised”!
Containing
twelve of Louise’s favourite tracks, “Dream” was recorded at Silverwood
Studios with Gavin Ralston and was produced & arranged by Joe Csibi.
One of
Louise's highlights was singing for the Irish President, Mary McEleese.
Louise has performed at weddings for the
last fifteen years and enjoys every one. She is very grateful to have been
involved in creating a beautiful atmosphere for couples on their special day and
some of their testimonials can been seen here.
One of Louise’s earliest live
performance career experiences was with the Bunratty Castle
Entertainers as a soloist at its renowned banquet evenings. This
is a time she still holds fondly. In December 2008 Louise says “I
feel privileged to have worked with many amazing people over the last
number of years, some of whom have become close friends. I love my teaching and it is such an honour when invited
to perform at clients’ special events. I look forward to synchronising these with my new album commitments over the coming
months.”
