"The Co Clare musician imbues...the traditional tunes of his native land ...with vast emotional depths and breadths, and dares a sparse, measured improvisatory approach. The high point is a slow air called The Dear Irish Boy, a frozen five minutes of superbly controlled tension."—London Sunday Times
"Welcome Here Again is the perfect anodyne to the hustle and the bustle, the noise and the agitation that dominates so much of contemporary life. It's as though the duo transports listeners back in time and place to rural County Clare on an evening in mid-winter when family and neighbours gather to share the music of their ancestors."—The Record, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada |
