"There was an outstanding set by Claire Mann
and Aaron Jones. They often played at great
pace but always with feeling and sensitivity.
Mann is equally accomplished on flute or fiddle,
creating a rich sound on both instruments,
while Jones is a passionate bouzouki player. "Billy Taylor" was at the
heart of the set
highlighting Jones' vocal skills too.
Andy Jurgis - Living Tradition
