This is not so much a review as an appreciation of what is a truly great album. I say that as a lover of fiddle music and have to add that the harp playing of Laoise Kelly is equally as outstanding. However not being a harp player my focus is on fiddle. What get's me on this subject is a visit I had today to…

Here is an email I sent to Sandy Jasper of Elf Song Whistles in British Columbia Canada:

 Hi Sandy;



Got the whistle this morning (Tues) exactly one week after you shipping,

which is right on.



Very beautiful whistle ascetically, and has the tone I was looking for.  Soft

and almost flutey. Excellent for airs and such.  I will have to try it out in

the bathroom to get that haunting echo sound  ;) . …

Within his cover notes Antrim flute player Brendan Mulholland informs us he was ‘talking about this CD for years’ and clearly the end product is a labour of love wrought from those years of diligent research and hard work.…

We composed this slow air to mark the occasion when we met with traditional musician and fellow tradconnect member Michael Orme in Oundle, Northamptonshire. The photos are of Oundle village.

Its a delight to have Noreen O' Sullivan on Tradconnect and the sound clips from her new album, The Quiet House,  sound great. Can't wait to get our hands on a copy of the album. We have already had the pleasure of Carmel Gunning and Enda Seery and their whistle music so this will add nicely to our…

Just wanted to say I have purchased this album and it is excellent, especially for the bodhrani out there.. that like to hear the bodhran come forward occassionally. Get it!
