Lagan Side Track number: 1 Year: 2011 Album: Bird on the Wing Genre: Celtic
“A rich blend of traditional music given a distinctive makeover. There are several dance tunes featured giving the album an upbeat vibe that is highly infectious.” MAVERICK (national music magazine) review of Bird on the Wing CD. “…beautifully played instrumentals, well arranged and well balanced harmonious vocals with more than a hint of Celtic influences…. CD presentation is pleasing…” Unicorn & Shire Folk magazines, review of Bird on the Wing CD. “Moonrakers are consummate players in the genre of Celtic music. The band is connected and enchanting in their interpretations of traditional island fare. An intuitive quality makes way for a beautiful performance that is as artistic as it is accurate.” EarBuzz (online reviews). “This album just OOZES quality. The most pleasant of surprises. I doubt if I will encounter a better album all year.” Living Tradition (national magazine) review of Both Sides.
