I got both of these pieces during master classes when I was studying at the Irish World Academy in Limerick. The first is a beautiful composition by Brian Finnegan, which he penned for a friends wedding. In 2019 I had the privilege of performing Ellie Goes West with the Ulster Orchestra. Ebony Air is a gorgeous 7/8 composed by Mayo musician, Stephen Doherty.

Superbly played music with a great ‘live’ feel. Love Donal Lunny’s bouzouki the connection between fiddle and flute and the spot-on production and recording. Love it! Hope you lads go on to do loads more. thecapn_uk

Forenote: Unbiased review ahead! I just can't get enough of this album. I love proper Celtic music, and this particular style just pushes all my buttons. It feels like Sarah made this record just for me! Joseph Karl
