Army Girl

The work of female soldiers in covert army units has seldom been told, but I believe they were the pathfinders for the female combat soldiers of today. The songs are intended to say something beyond the troubles in Northern Ireland to something more universal about the life of a soldier. The themes include love in wartime, return from war, death, and survival. There is an oral tradition of storytelling within military life, Army Girl aims to be seen in this tradition.
