When Two Lovers Meet is the first album recorded by singer-songwriter Sarah McQuaid.[1]

It is an album based on traditional Irish music with one song penned by McQuaid.

This album was first given a very limited release in Ireland in February 1997. Word of mouth and very positive reviews[by whom?] have slowly built up the record's reputation and established a demand for a re-release 10 years on.[2]
