As you might expect - lots of strings here. And lots of good musical knowledge put to good use. And theres's lots of cello, and we like the warm sound of the cello.
This is a real 'who's who' of Celtic America and you cannot fault the playing, nor the content. It's all over exciting, so it goes into our RECOMMENDED list.
