Review from Foot Stompin' Discussion Forum: ....It is a gorgeous recording and Allan MacDonald's singing of Fhir a' Chinn Duibh is the loveliest rendition I've heard from him yet. As Pict said in his initial post, this fusion of pipes and various classical instruments works beautifully. Thomas, if you read this, you are to be congratulated on this wonderful piece of work and please keep us informed on any future concerts or recordings..Margaret Stewart
