Very professional. Two good voices, two good musicians. She the purer of tone, on keyboards, he with the more distinctive sound, on guitar and mandola. A set of songs from their new album, and a couple from their last one. Mostly slow paced ballads, in a mix of Gaelic and English (she’s from the Gaeltacht, he from the north of Ireland), almst all telling sad tales. They can both relate a story too.
But. While enjoyable enough, as a show it lacked variety of pace and tempo, lacked laughs, lacked any Wow moments. Pleasant, gentle, mildly entertaining. And ever so slightly soporific.
But full marks for ending with the beauty of The Broom o’the Cowdenknowes...
