This three-CD boxed set repackages live worship albums from both sides of the Irish border, with Robin Mark and Kathryn Scott recorded leading in Belfast and Portstewart respectively to the north and Eoghan Heaslip captured in Dublin. The Mark 'Revival In Belfast' recording (1999) is already very well known and established as a worship favourite. 'Satisfy' is the 2003 first solo offering from Scott (following the success of her 1999 song "Hungry"), and she has some high profile support on this, notably from Brian Doerksen. 'Mercy' (released 2002) represents another stage in the defining of Heaslip as one of the foremost worship leaders and singer/songwriters of the new generation. There is not much commonality across the CDs other than the fact they were recorded and rooted in Ireland, and time alone will tell if the Scott and Heaslip offerings, and the self-penned songs they contain, help to establish them in the mainstream of the worship repertoire in the same way as the Mark recording and the songs of his that it contained did.
