Review of The Fallows EP - We Are The Hunted in ALTsounds

Ross Darby has a unique, powerful vocal ability, but far from carrying the rest of the band, it compliments what is a tight and tempting sound.On first evidence, The Fallows certainly possess a raw talent, an ability to deliver sharp lyrics, combing them effortlessly with a gratifying sound - and if they resist the urge of tarring themselves with that stereotypical brush, there is a strong possibility a big and bright future lies on the horizon.

EP available on iTunes for £3.16 (4 Track)

1 million views for a fiddle based site. Thanks for all who have taken the time to watch and comment. You Tube are making the sharing of clips more difficult, but I hope that Neal keeps playing for long enough for me to keep posting to get to 2 miilion sometime. Cheers

Review of debut Trí CD - Snapshot by Michael Holmes (of Dervish)

I am staggered by the CD. The maturity and ideas which carry through the whole body of the music single it out. I found myself being amazed every couple of minutes by so many different little things - a lovely choice of chord in a tune or song, an inspirational turn of phrase from the fiddle (which is consistently great anyway), or the skill and passion that Niamh displays in a song. The arrangements are inspiring. There are some pieces on the album where they have more good ideas going on in one set than others have in whole albums. Im not kidding!

You can click the icon on the You Tube Profile section to the left of this page or go to the band website.
