Fabio Rui This album wakes up feelings of serenity, freedom and gratitude. Somehow it has the same effect when I listen to Toumani Diabate playing the kora. Great rythm too, I didn't expect it from the harp. The tunes are all beautiful and there is something new to discover at every listening. If I had to chose one it would be Raindrops. Thanks for the post it message and for the music :)

about

"Aistear is a collection of some traditional tunes I grew up playing, my own compositions & tunes of other composers I admire. Music is an incredibly important part of my life and the compositional aspect has allowed me to express and explore emotion during difficult times. Aistear is an expression of my journey to date - including the death of my Dad in 2019 and experiencing grief through the Covid pandemic. Aistear is also an expression of the fun and humour that I enjoy in music, the playful elements as well as the profound" - Aisling


‘’..wonderful innate musicality, virtuosity & sense of adventure” - Máirtín O’Connor

“Her formidable technique gives voice to an intangible, lyrical musicality that keeps the listener in a spell” - Kathleen Loughnane

“..a really lovely recording that I think any fan of traditional music would enjoy very much” - Martin Hayes

"Flawless.. a standout record" - Hot Press Magazine
