Dates will be posted very soon...


Press & media downloads here	Arty McGlynn (guitar) Chris Newman (guitar/ mandolin) Nollaig Casey (fiddle/ vocal) Máire Ní Chathasaigh (Irish harp) Dirty Linen (USA), March / April, 2009 "A dream quartet - the sweetest and most exciting music to emerge for a long time. Matching virtuosity with sheer good taste, this album of traditional and original music pours joyfully from the speakers... amazing, majestic, delightful" The Irish Times 10 October, 2008 "A tightrope walk into uncommon worlds... This is traditional music at its very best: crossing boundaries, tapping our own tunes alongside bluegrass and ragtime borrowings. Many lifetimes' worth of music."

The Heartstring Sessions CD was released in the UK on September 29, 2008. Folk Roots, Scotland on Sunday, Living Tradition and many others have reviewed the CD. They're all available to read here. More US & European reviews here.
