At One With The Bells has the freshness and vitality that’s often hard to capture on record”

Dai Jeffries; Folking.com FULL REVIEW

“The playing and singing is exuberant and feelgood throughout, and the tracks are intelligently sequenced making this a seriously appealing sampler: … what better celebration can you have?”

 “Buy it because it’s a cracking set of Tunes and Songs”

Liz Osman; Brightyoungfolk.co.uk FULL REVIEW

“The varied tracks on offer include live recordings of five dances, very much in the tradition of the 1972 Morris On album… The wonderful harmony singing is full and robust” 

English Dance and Song Magazine; www.efdss.org
