Another winner, Tim! Except for the abrupt ending, it sounded very polished and professional. This is a very good direction for you, and you make each song fun to listen to. I feel like you could have been in the room with me.

+1 to the above. Another clean and clear mix with that great Celtic feel that you capture so well. The acoustic instruments sound great, as always. What you are using for mics? Oh, and the flute/pipes and violin fit nicely too.

Maybe the lead instrument has a tad much verb.
Other than that this is a great. As I've said before you've fund your niche (for now?).

Nice playing. :) The sound is big and airy. The tone and of the guitar is warm and rich with some sparkle. Real nice piece.

I think you've nailed the Celtic feel Tim. Nice choice of instruments and well produced all round. I'm with Lynn on the abrupt ending, a nice fade or rit. would have brought me back to reality with a bit less of a jolt. I really enjoyed the listen, thanks for sharing this one.

Boy those guitars and mandola? sure have a grrrreat tone. Up front without being overbearing at all. The flute/pennywhistle? shines as well.
I love me an emotive celtic meander!
On your violin that pops in and out for a lead, are you running that through a chorus of some kind? Just wondering, 'cause for me it stood out as effected in an otherwise 100% organic mix. As an older commercial once said, "You make the call!"
I'd also vote for an alternate ending, maybe a ritard where it just . . . winds . . . . down. As it is, it sounds like the police just showed up, and everybody dropped their instruments and ran! :)
very very nice,
-Tom
