monty1957 After ending my teaching career with two years of Covid, and trying out this mysterious thing called retirement, this music is just good for my soul.

Sam Wilson The title is so suitable for the mood felt throughout this album. It feels full of light and hope and generally uplifted me while listening to it. Beautiful harp playing, thanks for the music Ellen!

jonesbach This album is like a fine violin: the more you play it, the better it sounds. Great skill underpinned by a keen musical intelligence. Favorite track: Duine Air Call.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman
