Our debut album is here!
‘Scottish folkies fashion a medley marvel that is deeply expressive, impressively virtuosic and cheekily sardonic, all in perfect measure. An exceptional record…evocative and enchanting.’ Songlines **** (Track one, which you can hear below, appears on the ‘Top of the World’ CD with issue 185. March 2023).
‘Packed with energy and memorable tunes’ - Dai Jeffries, folking.com
‘An inspired alliance… this accomplished debut does indeed glow.’ Scotsman, Jim Gilchrist *****
‘A delight’ - RnR ****
‘Stunning… incredibly catchy and soul-feeding’ - soundinreview.com ****
‘It's very hard not to think about Europe and be desperately furious about loss when listening to this incredible album by Firelight Trio. It's stuffed with Latvian marches, French Chapelloise, Balkan Polskas, Ukrainian klezmer tunes and German jigs. At every turn it is joyous, deliriously uplifting, wildly inventive, it is breathtakingly beautiful, gently contemplative, wonderfully thoughtful. It is, in short, everything that makes European music so great.’
