all coming from one of the brightest singers of traditional Gaelic music in Scotland.

Pete Fyfe (Fyfe on Folk) Dec1998
"Maggie relies on the beauty of an unaffected pure vocal inherited from her mother Flora MacNeil.Unaccompanied or with sympathetic backing from Dougie MacLean and various musicians the album will hold the listener transfixed for the elegance of the performance."
