I want to firstly say that I hope all you guys are staying safe in this pandemic. I first discovered Secret Garden last year during a very tough time for me, the first song I ever heard was Song for a stormy night, ever since then I have got all your music and am in love with your homespun version of strength, it's beautiful, keep up the good work.

I have all of your CD’s plus two of your music books. This past July/August my granddaughter was hospitalized with a dangerous medical condition that required two hospital stays, ICU, and an eventual operation (After getting brief leave to return home to play a lead part in her summer theatre production of Les Mis). I sent her ‘Strength and Sunshine’ from your latest CD STORYTELLER. It aided both of us in a difficult time...especially as she was singing in recovery after one procedure! I am praying for your completel recovery as the music you create bring so much joy and spiritual renewal to so many. May God bless you as you have blessed all of us with the powerful tool of joy and positive spirit that your music provides. Can’t wait to hear/witness the show that you eventually produce from Storyteller.

10 years ago i wrote you a letter and sent you a photo from our 2 little daughters. I received a nice letter from you. Since then i got all your albums. Secret Garden is really unique! My wife also likes AHA very much. Would be nice to have you together with them on stage! That would be a top Norwegian performance with an Irish touch! I hope you will recover soon, Fionnuala! All the best for you and Rolf and your families.

Thank you for your work. Regards your breast cancer, hang in there, Fi. My mother passed away last year after having survived two bouts of breast cancer, losing both sides, surviving for over 30 years. She hated those prosthetics, they strained her back a lot, but she joked they were handy weapons, if she ever needed to fend off somebody. My wife is also a double mastectomy survivor of about 20 years. While these surgeries altered their bodies, both Mom and my wife became more whole spiritually, and was/is deeply loved by husbands and family.

Thank you so much Fionnuala, for your lovely music - you and Rolf are a uniquely talented combination. Only discovered you very recently - and thoroughly enjoyed your Lillehammer concert from 20 years ago (on YouTube.) Storyteller is also a wonderfully chilled-out album, and is perfect company on the road. I was very saddened to hear about your cancer, but thankful that you are pulling through. Rest well, and may God grant you a full recovery! Hope you visit the UK in the not-too-distant future. It would be such a pleasure to experience you guys live! Take care.

So just before I paste it - best wishes for health and getting well soon. May the endeavor you face now take you and your music to new heights. The whatsapp I wrote to my love is untouched below: Here's the story: I'm working... and hearing music. Kind of in the background. So, I'm kind of blind (should I say deaf?) to it. But the music is THERE. And my senses, are not totally oblivious to it. And then, there's a piece... which takes me over. Have we ever dreamed of a *secret garden* that'll be the place for *just the two of us*?

I am writing here because sadly contact page is not working. Hopefully you will see my review soon.
Dear Secret Garden a customer of mine (and me too) is baffled when he heard some of your masterpieces. We are really fond of your works. Besides being fascinated by your work, we want your copyright permission to use some of them in his own album. Surely we can come to an agreement as soon as possible.
Kind regards.

I have all of your albums and your video about your musical program at Kilden. After watching your video, which I very much enjoyed, I was most disappointed that your Kilden video program omitted "You Raise Me Up". That song has been a favorite of mine from the moment I first heard it on your earliest album. I was so surprised to see it omitted from your show. And your book titled the same just adds to my curiosity. Was there a legal reason that song or its performers could not be featured in your video? I think of it so linked to your group. Thank you for all of your exceptional musical contributions. Keep it up with Heaven's blessings. Best to you all...

Your ethereally atmospheric music is ideally suited to cover a song that has haunted my memory since I first heard it more than half a century ago. "After The Snow" was written by the late Stephen Scotti for his wife, folk singer Dayle Stanley, on the eve of the birth of their first child, and is the title song of her second album. Within a very short time, it was covered by Canadian folk singer Bonnie Dobson on her album 'For The Love Of Him'. Links below for the original Dayle Stanley recording, along with the Bonnie Dobson cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9lvlX-0jTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWKG4wKAYzw

this book was one of many that my mother bought for me, I think I was about 8 0r 9yr Ive loved this book since the first time I read it, two young cousins that met each other for the first time in ten years, come together, they learnt to play, walk, laugh and cry, and brought back to life a secret garden that had been shut up and left for ten years,

I've been a US fan since your very beginnings. Fionnuala's injury might hurt me more than her as I always look forward to the next song and I'm already feeling lonely for that violin. I'm going to dust off the old karaoke machine and sing Prayer until you are healed, or the neighbors stone me to death for attempted singing. Please heal before the stones become to heavy. Best wishes as always, Larry Chambliss

White Stones album one of my favorites! from N/A wrote on February 16, 2015:

Just wanted to say how much my wife & I love your White Stones album. It is off the charts romantic and a wonderful blend of musical styles that is perfectly executed. The Celtic & Gypsy spirits that dwell within us both dance with joy whenever we play White Stones, which is very frequently. Thank you for a marvelous musical gift!
