Release
My Match Is A Makin' was released during Moya Brennan's April 2010 tour. In January 2011, the album was discontinued and re-released under the new title Voices & Harps with a slightly different track list and remixed/remastered tracks.
Track listing
My Match Is A Makin' is the first mainly traditional album recorded by Moya since Clannad's early albums. While made up of folk songs, it also features two new songs; Mo Mhian (Moya originally wrote and recorded the song for the To End All Wars film) and Longing to See You. The album was later re-released in 2011 under the name "Voices & Harps" in collaboration with the Irish harp virtuoso Cormac de Barra. The track list suffered a rearrangement and includes one new song called "Casadh Mo Chroí". Also, the song "Mo Mhian" was renamed to "Go Brách".
