Julie Thorburn –
This c.d. is truly one I will treasure always… it moved me to tears upon the first playing and continues to do so.
The mix of folk and traditional tunes, the voices, the vocals. The sensitive and gentle playing of the most wonderful combination of instruments. It takes me back to Scotland, where my heart lies, but also introduced me to International influences, each tune telling it’s own tale
What’s not to like – it’s enchanting
