"Festival Club" Glasgows'Celtic Connections 98 "..living up to its aims of keeping true to the Gaelic tradition while courting contemporary relevance. .. ranges from a near childlike quality to a strong percussive style redolent of Gaelic's piping heritage..." -The Herald newspaper Anne at the Hebridean Festival 98 in Stornoway, (Singing with "Blas") Photo:Ian Murray "…haunting Gaelic voice...Anne Martin is fast becoming one of Scotland's most highly acclaimed Gaelic singers.." -Edinburgh Folk Festival 'Shoots & Roots' Anne and Ingrid performing in Groningen, The Netherlands '98 "..Martin is an experienced and accomplished live performer, whose skill translates well into this disc of mostly traditional Gaelic tunes. Her expressive voice and presentation seem to embody the spare beauty of her part of Scotland.." -Dirty Linen Magazine ~78 (Oct / Nov98) Iain Macfarlane, Malcolm Jones, Iain MacDonald at the album launch, Eden Court, Inverness "Anne Martin has been for me the greatest discovery of my last Scotland trip. The Gaelic singer from the Isle of Skye has an enchanting voice, and a superb repertoire of the most beautiful Gaelic songs. ... The quality of the musicians lies in giving just a subtle arrangement to the songs that never disturbs the singing of Anne. Anne's voice is simply wonderful, both at home at the faster puirt-a-beuls as in the slow lullabies.... This is another album that deserves its safe place in the collection of the best-ever Gaelic albums; and Anne is a singer definitely worth to watch for.
