Foley Road: Press

 

You will be pleased to know that your lilting voices are wafting
through the air on the downtown streets of Charleston, West Virginia,
since I installed my tapes in my car, and the windows down and the heat
index dropped and the  memory of our reunion demands that I listen with
nostalgia and sentiment to all the lovely songs you selected!!!

What talented musicians...and to have found each other is wonderful and

you've got to be exceedingly proud of the music that fills the air when you all are
playing.
Thank you for taking the time to come to Charleston, and play for us.
The feedback about Foley Road has been so positive, and we had a truly
fine reunion, thanks to your making the evening so special for all of
us.

Si Bheag Si Mhor. What a beautiful, smooth flowing piece! Peaceful & uplifting. Lovely composition and the instruments are all played well. This stirs up images of Nature or life in a small village for me. Love how this builds as it moves along. Bravo!

GarryOwen/IrishWasherwoman "Very catchy, rhythmic Celtic track featuring some great melody lines. Especially good is the traditional string instrument melody. Recorded well, the piano stays to the sides to allow the melody lines to come through. Well done to all."

Lads of Dunse/St. Patrick's Day in the Morning "Nice little Celtic tune. Infectious rhythm. Good movement in both the harmony and melody progression. Skillfully played."

Si Bheag Si Mohr--"I like the traditional character of the arrangement. The playing is solid throughout. Nice use of dulcimer."

Ships are Sailing--"The dulcimer parts sounds excellent and certainly evokes a Celtic character."

Folks- James Weatherstone of the Easy Coast Foley Road version. And, by the way, I totally concur; your CD sounds absolutely first rate great. You are all A-1 musicians, and I thank you for the gift of your music.
Regards,
James Weatherstone

Foley Road is a group of six musicians, ranging in profession from teachers, music and speech therapists, and even an engineer! Their varied instrumentation provides a unique musical experience for all to enjoy. The group possesses an unknown quality that comes from a spirit that connects people to their talent. They are ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things.

"I was completely blown away by the beauty of the music on this CD (Wherever The Road Takes Us!) Please let your group know they will be giving a lot of joy to those lucky people who discover the CD. Congratulations!"

Your program was great. Those that attended really enjoyed it as well. I do love the CD. My daughter and I listen to it and dance.
Thanks again,
