It’s All About Me! is deeply rooted in place and story. The album draws inspiration from Áine’s hometown of Tramore — from the beach to the Doneraile Walk, the tennis courts, and the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens — as well as the family, friends, and teachers who shaped her musical journey.

The music blends traditional Irish airs, contemporary compositions, cinematic themes, and lullabies with Áine’s distinctive musical interpretation. Listeners will find warmth, calm, nostalgia, and quiet strength throughout the collection. The album is dedicated to Áine’s late parents, Olive and Bernard McCarthy, and reflects a period of recovery, resilience, and renewed appreciation for life.

Whether you’re discovering harp music for the first time or returning to it with familiarity, the album provides a soothing and accessible entry point into Áine’s musical world.
