What people are saying about our music...

Peat Fire Flame

It's altogether an outstanding contribution to the music of the Clarsach world. I'm recommending it to all my friends.
Janet Watt, Edinburgh branch Clarsach Society

I consider it to be my good fortune to have been asked to review this tape which I might otherwise have missed.
L J Flynn, 'The Furrow'

St Patrick's Breastplate (and other Hymns from the Celtic Tradition)

The Breastplate and the Blessing of the Kindling were used by the BBC Radio 4 programme on Celtic Christianity, "Seeds of Faith"

A Scottish Canticle

Ellen, your composition blends with the words like a silk tapestry - free flowing but strong.
Janet Watt, Comunn na Clarsaich

Sorchar nan Reul

I am glad to have lived to hear the wonderful words collected by Alexander Carmichael put to real 'Classical' Celtic music. The music and the words are one.
Kitty Macleod, Isle of Lewis

I pulled out my volume of Carmina Gadelica and listened to your tape and was instantly caught up in the celestial uplift of the words and your settings. Thank you Ellen.
Margaret Daunt, President of 'An Comunn

I've listened to "Sorchar nan Reul" three times! The Gaelic passes me by, but the clarity and purity of sound is outstanding. The combinationof harp, flute and voice beautifully balanced... truly etherial
