Having spent time living in Derry, Northern Ireland, a couple of years ago, I can appreciate the context from which this community of Protestant and Catholic worshippers has arisen. Based in the Heart of the Maiden City's Bogside area, Wellspring have garnered airplay on UCB Radio and have been able to play several times on the mainland. This is beautiful Celtic worship, with several titles sung in Gaelic, and closing with the poignantly titled but defiantly celebratory "Derry And Belfast Hornpipes". I cannot speak any higher of this recording than to say that it made me long to see the Donegal hills again and return one day to this tragic but brave city that made me so welcome.

Yes, I got the CD tears ago when I visited one of the friends and also his church if Wellsprings. It has made a deep impression and I still listen to the CD and pray he is OK. We lost contact after he got married but the CD is still here with me and that is a lovely memory, that brings a tear to my eye.
