Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

3. Mary SmithSgiath Airgid

It’s a CD that I think is maybe only available in one place, but it’s one of the ones that would have been played in the car. It’s an album I connect to my sisters a lot. There’s a particular song that we would always sing along to, that had a chorus we all loved. Most people might sing along and learn all the words to well-known pop songs in their youth, but for us it was this album – so obscure! Her voice is amazing, that’s the thing for me. It’s smooth, but it also has this guttural depth.
