Artist Bio

Sussie Nielsen was born in Copenhagen in 1975. In her early teenage years, Sussie became a fan of the music of Clannad. She had, at that time, no particular ambition as far as music was concerned, being mainly interested in the body and physical therapy; an interest which led to a qualification as physical education teacher and masseuse. Returning from her first trip to Ireland, Sussie brought home a heap of music, and began to sing and to play the bodhrán.

A steadily growing interest in the music, including sean-nós ( old style ) singing and gaelic song, led Sussie back to Ireland. In 2002, she started at the Irish World Music Centre, University of Limerick, where she took an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance under the direction of Professor Michéal Ó Súilleabhain. Her teachers included many fine singers, among these being Padraigín Ní Uallacháin, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Karan Casey and Len Graham.

She has received excellent reviews and several nomination for the Danish Music Awards 2004 and 2005.

Clear as glass and glowing
The many excellent musicians have, as I have mentioned, their part in the credit for this, in every way, successful cd. And luckily they´ve received more space in the liner notes than studio musicians often get on ”solo” records. Nikolaj Busk, piano and accordeon, has alrady been mentioned. The others are: Helen Davies, harp. Alan Colfer, guitar. Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, violin , tin whistle. Peter G. Sørensen, violin. Bjarne Schmidt, bouzouki. Niklas Roswall, nyckelharpa and its predecessor the moraharpa. Soma Alpass, cello. They provide music which vibrates, glowing and clear as glass, in beautiful harmony with Sussie Nielsen´s simultaneously crisp and authoritatively strong and intense voice.
