CEOLBEG has been around the music scene for several years but the present line-up has only been together for just over a year. The combination of such instruments as clarsach, great Highland war pipe, flute, whistles, keyboards, stringed instruments and percussion, all played with great skill, blend to give a unique and exciting sound. Add the considerable singing and songwriting talents of Davy Steele and the result is a group of exceptional talent.
The album is a nice balance of songs and instrumentals, allowing individual talent to shine through. For exciting instrumentals try the "Mazurka" or Coupit Yowe" sets; or change the tempo with Wendy Stewart's beautiful clarsach on the moody "Glenlivet", which leads beautifully into Davy Steele's tender interpretation of the Burn's song "A' The Airts"; or the spine-chilling "See The People Run"; the arrangement on "Seeds To The Wind" makes this a track suitable for any radio programme. With a total playing time of 54 minutes-plus. |
