Celtic Heart Track

Back in early 2019 Kira and James Doran performed an online collaboration.

James recently wrote:

I knew her as Kira Donnelly and was just astounded by her musical talent and the soulfulness in her playing. I sent her a very simple guitar based tune and Kira improvised a fiddle solo over it in no more than five minutes, which to this day entrances me with its sheer soulfulness. I renamed it Celtic Heart after he heard Kira's playing and it's on my Youtube page for everyone to hear. Please accept my deepest condolences for Kira's passing, I feel very very honoured that she took the time to add her beautiful playing to my simple tune, take care, James

Celtic Heart is the song that always draws me back, and it's the song I tell people about, the emotion coming from the fiddle playing never wears thin on me, it's mournful, soulful, joyful and haunting, all in that couple of minutes, and she was just jamming over it, amazing, it hits me right in the heart. I originally wrote the song under the title of Arizona Sun, but i renamed it after Kira played fiddle on to it, it just sounded like a Celtic heart singing, to my ears at least. James
