There. I've come out and admitted it. I won't say it changed my life. I'd consciously become a Christian earlier that year, thanks to friends in the school's Christian Union. Before that I'd been a chorister. I hadn't been brought up in a church going family. My parents told me on my first day as a chorister not to bring any of "that religion" back home with me. It was for the music that they were encouraging me, that alone. So they were not best pleased when I announced my conversion, though they did come to my baptism and confirmation a few months later.

The Alt
Each player in The Alt is a leading light of today's folk scene and though this could be easily called a supergroup, at its heart The Alt is really a celebration of friendship and song. The Alt is John Doyle, Eamon O'Leary and Cathy Jordan.
Three masters of Irish music—Asheville guitarist John Doyle; vocalist, Bodhran and Bones player and Dervish's very own front-woman Cathy Jordan, and singer and guitar and bouzouki player Eamon O'Leary—have come together to celebrate the songs and spirit at the core of the tradition. The ballads, tunes, and new and rediscovered songs each artist brings to The Alt reflect their love of the traditional music that has been a touchstone of Irish identity for generations. They also build on the heritage of Irish immigrants who settled in Appalachia, where Irish song provided some of the building blocks for old-time, country, and bluegrass. In choosing to record their first album, the eponymously titled The Alt, at a cabin in North Carolina's Appalachian Mountains, The Alt embraced this fruitful musical lineage.
