Take her in your arms- Celtann
This album is the product of a lot of hard work and help from many people.
It was recorded in a mini home studio on Aruba in the beginning of 2004.
Mixed and recorded at the house of John van der Pluijm it took the whole de Bie family and John and a whole lot of patience and organizing to accomplish what you hold in your hand now. For the lyrics of some of the songs we've had to delve into Irish history, wrack our brains and ransack the internet to be able to understand what we were singing.
After all was done, we realized we probably could have done it better, faster and probably should have started sooner, but... the goal isn't worth achieving if you don't get to make the journey towards it. I've learned so much and not just about music...
I would like to thank John and my Dad Ariean for all their efforts both musical and technical, my Mum Flora and my sister Margriet for their patience, their musical contribution to this album and their faith in me. I would also like to thank my sister Josien for getting me a place to rest my weary head, thank you Pete, Bonnie, Dieb, Violaine...
Thank you all so very much....for taking me in your arms
