Review:
" William Jackson's first Celtic Experience was a fine piece and the standard is maintained - if not excelled in Volume 2...Here is a very professional collection of material" Folk on Issue. "What a marvellous CD to listen to when you would like a relaxing hour to yourself...go and purchase one now" Folk North West. William Jackson (wire strung harp, gut strung harp, clarsach, whistles, uillean pipes) with Mae McKenna (vocals), John MacCusker (fiddle), Iain MacInnes (Highland Pipes, Scottish small pipes), Delpha McClaughan (cello), Gareth Walters (percusion), and the strings and horns of The Gardyne Ensemble .

What a marvellous CD to listen to when you would like a relaxing hour to yourself...go and purchase one now.
Folk North West. Why is it that the Celtic races can produce such a mass of wonderful, haunting, evocative music which seems to fall inside such a well-defined form? Perhaps it's the constraints of religion (or just old-fashioned morality) which precluded most 'Mossy Well' type songs, or was it the constant warring with the English? Perhaps the weather is involved! Whatever the reason, there seems to be an overall poignancy about much of the material; this trait lends itself well to the droning effects of the pipes, and in these modern times the symthesizer. Those jolly nice Linn people continue a series the appeal of which, if not to the Scottish purist, is at least to the lyrical and romantic amongst the rest of us. William Jackson's first Celtic Experience was a fine piece and the standard is maintained - if not excelled in Volume 2...Here is a very professional collection of material. Folk on Issue.
