She is also involved in the Inishowen Song project which aims to archive digitally, via books, video, audio, and photographs, the songs and people behind the singing tradition in Inishowen. In this Vocal Chords sneak peek, Grace tells us about one of her all-time favourite singers Dan Mc Gonigle, who has been a huge influence in her singing life and sings an extract from a song he once sang called 'The Four Marys'.
