My album could not have been made without the financial assistance of the ACNI. I'm very grateful that they chose to promote my vision of music from Northern Ireland. |

Scotland's leading folk and traditional music label, with whom I've been working since 1999. Without Ian Green's belief and backing, my album would never have seen the light of day. |

I would say that Malinky are the greatest folk band in the history of the Universe, but then I'm biased. |

Seamus makes the best drums you can buy. I won't hear any argument on the subject, so don't even try! He's a craftsman, an artist, a real gent, and a highly sought-after player in his own right. If you want to play bodhran, play the best. |

The shruti box is in interesting device that plays a steady drone which is great for singing with. I used it widely in recording my album. Looks like a wooden laptop, sounds like an accordion! |
