Heartstone

This brilliant New recording is Hot off the Press!

Heartstone's music is a special blend that gives a real edge to "traditional" Irish music and they have recorded these tracks especially for dancing to.

Every track has a real LIVE feel to it with the combination of Kay Proffitts Accordion and Trish Featherstone's Fiddle creating a really intimate "Ceili" or "Feis" atmosphere. The rest of the band, with their traditional instruments really complement the overall sound, carrying you straight back to the Irish Crossroads Dance Halls of yesteryear. All the Reels and Jigs are here, as well as fast and slow Hornpipes. They've even included their versions of a selection of the most popular of the Open Set Dances, in fact everything a dancer needs!

As some of the tracks are a little fast the music is not really suitable for the absolute beginner to practice to, but you don't need to be a dancer to just listen! Anyone with any Celtic in their soul will certainly begin to feel it rising up within them as they move through the tracks on this CD. The final track is a really mystic - almost spooky - version of King of the Fairies, that carries you off into the misty mountains of old, where legends were once made.

Don't just take our word for it. This is what the September 2000 edition of Irish Dancing Magazine had to say about this CD "tracks come across as 'a right good session'.....proves that the music does indeed travel well across the water.....Good Treble Reels are hard to come by and credit goes to Trish Featherstone for composing her own excellent Bonnie Reel. A nice album"
