A pleasant enough offering from a host of experienced Celtic musicians, among them Iona's Troy Donockley, and typically what you might expect from a collection of hymns and contemporary worship songs set in the Celtic style. The album's opener, a delicate and atmospheric rendition of "Be Thou My Vision", is followed by a stirring version of "Here Is Love" which is given the full Uillean pipes treatment by Donockley. Mat Redman's "Can A Nation Be Changed?" and Bryn and Sally Haworth's "What Kind Of Love Is This?" are featured, together with a handful of songs by Kendrick and Robin Mark amongst others, but these tracks tend not to lend themselves to the Celtic genre as well as perhaps the more traditional items. A relaxing and occasionally uplifting listen nonetheless.
