wishes for continued success, Love Marg and Gary Miron"

"Music to take with you on life's journey and
an aid to your travelling".
Canon David Adam.
"It's obvious why Heather and Jacynth's
voices and harmonies make them performers of choice for
organisers of events ranging from specialist and folk festivals
to mainstream concerts." Dave Arcari.
Creator of the Tides review. Perthshire Advertiser.
"..the sonic pureness of the vocals and flute
combine to deliver three quarters of an hour's worth of
relaxing, chilled sounds that make the racks of new-age
meditative CDs in high street stores seem like poorly produced
musical tat." Dave Arcari. New
Life From Ruins review. Perthshire Advertiser.
Of Florida 2002 tour:
"I cannot find words adequate to express how
deeply yours and Jacynth's music touched and continues to touch
my heart and soul. I feel truly blessed to have attended your
concert at the Chapel of the Incarnation in Gainesville on March
15th and the worship on the 17th that you and Jacynth so
enriched....Since that weekend, I have made sure that I have at
least one of your CD's with me at work each day. Your music is
breathtakingly beautiful and has a profoundly centering effect
for me."

Reviews of
Creator of the Tides:
"Although fairly specialist stuff, 'Creator
of the Tides' is accessible and very listenable, chill-out music
that could easily knock the cliched new age/relaxation titles
found in tourist shops for six as a much more interesting
alternative. From the captivating and beautifully executed
opener 'St. Bride's Coracle', it's obvious why Heather and
Jacynth's voices and harmonies make them performers of choice
for organisers of events ranging from specialist and folk
festivals to mainstream concerts."
Dave Arcari. Perthshire Advertiser.
Creator of the Tides: "This is a rare album,
which directly addresses the myriad shades of Celtic
spirituality...Both women have exquisite voices...there is a
deep, calming peace that comes from this CD without ever falling
into trappings of new age music. Magical in the truest sense of
the word." Dirty Linen, USA.
Reviews of God of the Elements:
This CD looks stunning before you even hear it,
thanks to Mary Fleeson's artwork for the Lindisfarne Scriptorium.
And on first play, it doesn't disappoint, creating an ambience of
sweetness - unforced folk vocals from Heather Innes and Jacynth
Hamill and often traditional melodies, most with gentle Celtic
accompaniments. An a cappella track "The Peace of All Things Calm"
shows off the musicality of the vocalists. Perfect music for some
precious quiet time. Liz Knowles. Cross Rythms.
I really love your CD! You've included such a
wonderful mix of voice and instruments, and the panning and the
playlist sequence is masterful. A good rhythm of contemplative and
rousing. Nice, to end with the Lindisfarne Liturgy. I feel that I'm
there, in a church, with you. Robert A Jonas.
