Maggie Boyle Keighley, UK
"Maggie has a spell-binding, intoxicating quality in her voice which is extremely distinctive - must be the Irish in
her.....a rare thing in today's music world."
Bert Jansch
“... authoritatively considered, with the abundant expressive sincerity which distinguishes Maggie's performances….central to the texture is the unflinchingly expert guitar of Paul Downes”

Eoghainn Iain Alasdair and the stomp of Rise ye Lazy Fellow are my favourite tunes on this album. The album has a much simpler feel than The Seer, perhaps reflecting more the traditional arrangements of small Highland communities. I didn't like the synth on Crow Road Croft as it doesn't feel in keeping with the folk arrangements, but what do I know?

Listening to this album's rich, beautiful melodies and spirited performances feels like seeing a fantastical other-world emerge from the Earth itself. The emotions running through "A Mermaid at Fearn" are so complex and genuine it could convince anyone that mermaids are really out there.

Keening, yearning, captivating and lovely collection of songs, the sense of close performance all the more remarkable when you learn it was made during Covid lockdown in 2020. The ballads and poems set to music on this album might be hundreds of years old, and while they do have an air of immortal, ancient tradition about them, they sound utterly current.
