The album features artists Moya Brennan, Mary Coughlan, Nóirín Ní Riain, Cara O'Sullivan, Jimmy O'Brien-Moran, the Monks of Glenstal and many others.

The artists have all given of their work and time at no cost and have raised the money to pay for the production of this album so that the charities will benefit from the sale of the first CD.

The first single to be released from the album is "Stars Are Made for the Sky", by Nassau Royal, featuring Moya Brennan on backing vocals.

The proceeds from Sanctuary go the Irish charities that support men, women, children and families affected by domestic violence in Ireland.

The launch consisted of a concert featuring most of the artists and production team involved on the album as well as special guests including Alyth.
