Performance Reviews:
'Your concert at Muskoka Place Gallery was a delight. The feedback was fantastic, with rave reviews by all who attended. I am so glad we recommended you. Sincere best wishes for continued success.'
.... Marg and Gary Miron, Acton Island, Muskoka, Ontario, Canada
'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
'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.'
.... L. Mann, Florida, USA

The Land I Call my Home:
'...Just love it from start to finish.' Lochbroom FM
'One of the most peaceful albums I've ever heard - brilliant.' Radio Tay
"The sometimes eerie, sometimes jaunty Celtic folk is going to win the girls many fans around the world.' Dave Arcari, Perthshire Advertiser
'..the two have put together an impressive and eclectic collection of songs that reflect their disparate but conjoint Celtic backgrounds.' Alasdair MacLean, The Scots Magazine
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
'This is a rare album, which directly addresses the myriad shades of Celtic spirituality...B oth 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
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 - www.EmptyBell.org
