I am not their agent, I have nothing to make from this. However I want to tell you that they are really something very, very special. Note perfect, timing spot on, but probably the most of all, what loverly people, if this is where folk music is going, then I am going along for the ride. Check out there site & have listen. |

They do very interesting vocal arrangements and Helena's piping (I love the sound of English border pipes) is wonderful. Go see 'em if you can, and then buy their albums to enjoy them the rest of the time... it's well worth the money. |

22 Feb 07 - 10:25 AM (#1975999) Subject: RE: Crucible, something really special From: Mooh I too really like the English pipes, they're a healthy break from the seemingly more common Scottish and Irish pipes we hear. Nice folks too, very gracious with festival volunteers, fun in the after hours sessions, and great stage presence. Take the prvious poster's advice, the cds are worthwhile purchases. Last I heard they didn't intend to tour Canada (US too?) until they had new product to promote...hope and pray for both. Peace, Mooh. |
