This album once again features Dan’s amazing talents on electro-acoustic and acoustic guitars and Appalachian (or mountain) dulcimer, with support from Sylvia Seaton on violin, Martin Vishnick on classical guitar, Andy Crowdy on bass and John Ward on Bodhran and harmonica.    

Ther are seventeen tracks in all, a balanced mixture of instrumental and songs – many of the songs will be familiar to many, and it good to see ‘old favourites’ given a dusting down with a new and sensitive arrangement. Here you will hear the likes of ‘Ellen Vannen tragedy’, ‘The Water Is Wide’ and – a real challenge – Lennon/McCartney’s ‘Let It Be’ (with additional vocals by Ruth Cohen rose). 

Dan’s mastery of his instruments and the electronic effects he creates through sampling, coupled with his sensitive and modal accompaniments create a unique and distinctive melodic sound throughout this album. Recording quality is first class as one would expect and the album as a whole is superbly and professional packaged.
