A generation ago their love story would have been forbidden, now they share a love that crosses borders, unites countries and shows how far history has come. North and South tells the true love story of a dear friend of mine.

I started thinking about what a famous band would write for her wedding, were she to marry the boy she had begun to date from the South. Well… it’s a few years late for the wedding, but I’m thrilled to share their story with the world!
With a gorgeous melody and beautiful infusion of Irish fiddle and tin whistle, North and South features the vocal talents of Phil Davidson… who began his life as a Belfast boy. Dedicated to Malcolm, Judith, Robyn and Luca.
