about

A live studio recording of a literary and musical performance by award-winning novelist Berlie Doherty and the Sally Doherty Quartet.

'Daughter of the Sea' is a magical tale of a child plucked from the sea, and the mysterious stranger who reclaims her, a spellbinding mixture of ancient stories from Scotland, Ireland and Iceland.

"This beautiful tale evokes overwhelming joy and sadness" - Sunday Telegraph

"Song, music and story weaving its spell, a truly enchanting experience" - Edinburgh Festival

"Daughter of the Sea is a live studio performance of a piece I had the pleasure to be involved with back in 1998. A musical literary performance with the wonderful words of Berlie Doherty. Music provided by me to carry the story. We took it to Literary and Art festivals up and down the country carting a full size harp, double bass and cello in a transit van." Sally
