SINGULARITY -  Gwyneth Keen
WISE RECORDS
'One of Wales's best kept secrets' Taplas
Gwyneth Keen is a talented and powerful voice hailing from the mountains of North Wales. Having already enchanted the likes of Ronan Keating and the Royal Albert Hall, Gwyneth's voice cannot fail to transport the listener. There is a rare quality in her varied and original use of both traditional material and self-penned songs, which capture a humanity that touches us all. There are times of remarkable self-effacing vulnerability, which widen the eyes and open the heart, then lightened with a mischievous lilt and a wry grin. Gwyneth's performances leave you feeling close to a singer that seems to give herself, unflinchingly and completely every time. Such emotional honesty is a talent to be enjoyed by all, regardless of age, creed, or musical orientation!

IMAGO -  Celtish
WISE RECORDS
We gave the group's debut album a big thumbs-up when it first appeared and so we were interested to see how things have moved on since the band's first recorded appearance. Well, the line-up's changed for a start…  The new mix represents an evolution rather than a revolution…  Arrangement is always a tightrope for traditional bands… Few bands manage to navigate such a narrow channel without at least once or twice scraping their sides off the rocks. Celtish, on the other hand, make it appear plain sailing… Just as impressive as their debut, "Imago" continues the tale of a band who have a long way to go, but already are far ahead of many of their contemporaries.

Jac Tô Bach--Siân Phillips & Danny KilBride
Siân and Danny, two of Wales' leading folk musicians, have decided to start stirring it up,
Both grew up in families with strong musical traditions and both of them have tried the usual paths to glory and got bored with it. They first met as teenagers and have been quietly building a repertoire from the dark corners of Wales' traditional musics

Two Welsh Wizards of the strings, Sian Phillips, fiddle and Danny Kilbride … The combination of fiddle and guitar is like bread and jam and can hardly go wrong. Here in the hands of experts the instruments lift the simplest tunes to heights of delight. … This is a CD that should be in any aspiring fiddle or folk guitar players collection. 
Brian Healey--Traditional Music Maker April 2002
What is particularly striking about Jac To Bach (The Little Jackdaw) is their willingness to take risks, often bold and imaginative risks that push their music in new and unexpected direction … If proof were needed that the Welsh tradition is alive and thriving, these two provide it. And they provide it with considerable flair.
Keith Hudson  -  Taplas April 2002
…. Personally one of the things that I enjoy most is the sound of a good fiddle player, and that certainly describes Phillips, She has been described as "one of Wales' best fiddlers, if not the best", well I've heard quite a few from a variety of places and Id certainly say Phillips is one of the best I've heard, … ...
