Day is Dawning (Sussie Nielsen)

Sussie Nielsen was born in Copenhagen in 1975. In her early teenage years, Sussie became a fan of the music of Clannad. Caused by her awakening interest, she went to Ireland and brought home a heap of music.

Irish music and song came naturally to her and awakened a desire to focus on the tradition. In 2000, Sussie formed Flax in Bloom, with Tim Goddard (flute), Ditte Fromseier Mortensen (fiddle), Rasmus Zeeberg (guitar) and Sonnich Lydom (accordion and mouth organ).

A steadily growing interest in the music, including sean-nós (old style) singing and Gaelic song, led Sussie back to Ireland. In 2002, she started at the Irish World Music Centre, University of Limerick, where she took an M.A. in Irish Traditional Music Performance under the direction of Professor Michéal Ó Súilleabhain. Her teachers included many fine singers, among these being Padraigín Ní Uallacháin, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Karan Casey and Len Graham. As part of her final exam, Sussie recorded the cd After Rain.

The album was subsequently released in Denmark, where it received excellent reviews and a nomination for Folk Debut of the Year at the Danish Music Awards 2004.
