Brona McVittie performs A Stor Mo Chroi (Treasure of my heart) at LSO St Lukes on Saturday 17th April 2010 to launch the London Lasses fourth album, By Night & By Day.
I first heard A Stór Mo Chroí on Mary Mclaughlin's Celtic Requim album years ago. I've always loved this song and your version live with the harp gave me chills. Beautifully done.
After She Moves Through the Fair my favourite song Astor mo Chroi. And can be done so many ways withoout losing the beauty. This is really how it should be done just a harpist and a beautiful, soaring female solo voice. Always touches my heart as it should meaning treasure of my heart. God bless her
I love your version of this song! Your voice captures both the loss and the longing felt by those leaving, as well the ones they left behind. Beautiful job!
Very nice, she does sing it very well, although I must suggest if you love this song listen to the version sung by Sean Keane, from his Turn a Phrase album (I belive it is also on his greatest hits album named: A Portrait) although im not sure if his version is on youtube, if your curious how it sounds, listen to his May Morning Dew song on youtube.
I have a copy of Sarah and Rita Keane, one of Roisin Elsafty and a copy by Bonnie Raitt with the Chieftains. It really should be sung by a woman though as you say it was written by a man. I think it should be performed by a woman because it feels so feminine, so maternal and loving. Makes me less lonely in London. And you sing it with great power, understated almost a whisper at the end like a beautiful, supernatural being. Good luck with your musical career. Can I find a recording on cd of you singing this song?
Amhrán álainn Cheilteach. Bhí mé pósta le bean Éireannach agus nó bhí cónaí orm in Éirinn le blianta fada. Tuigim Gàidhlig go maith. Ní raibh a fhios agam an t-amhrán seo. In English does it mean A shop of the heart, or something similar?

Best translation would be 'Treasure of my heart' or 'Darling of my heart'
Go raibh maith agat a chailín álainn Gaelach. Tá a fhios agat mil, beidh mé ar ais suas go Dún na nGall go luath. Tá teach á cheannach agam i gCarraig Airt. Tá céim sa ghiotár agam ó Choláiste na Tríonóide. Tá súil agam gur féidir liom comhoibriú leat lá éigin. Ní thógfaidh mé ach mo chat liom. Barróg ó Fhlórans. Dia dhuit.
@ I have not been up in Ireland Bròna for so many years, and I ask you to forgive me if I do not remember the songs well; if I'm not mistaken it is of the Chieftains! Right now I'm listening to "Thíos cois na trá domh" by Clannad. I hope that at the end of 2023 he will be back in Donegal; I am Italian, but I have always lived in Ireland; and I miss it! Anyway I listened to you, and you are really good. Write to me when you want Bròna!
