Any duo who can produce a 12-track, self-penned album which has Five-Star ratings from the first note to the last, has to be a very special pairing, Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts are such a duo. Hailed by non other than Seth Lakeman, they compliment each other like very few other duo’s can, with each being allowed their own individualist parts within the album, yet neither dominating or overpowering the other, which is a very, very rare balance. Both graduating from the Leeds College of Music, their versatility shines through as does their competence of various instruments. It would be very easy to fall into the trap of waxing lyrical about either the instrumental tracks or the meaningful storylines depicted within the album, but this is an album to be played and enjoyed with sensitivity, feeling, candour and a superb realisation of what an impressive duo/CD this is, hail to the Guitar and Violin!
