From Colin Irwin (@MOJOmagazine) who was at the @LizHonks & Michael Walsh gig @WhitbyFW ."Flute and cello? That's not going to work is it? Is it? Well, it bloody does in the hands of Michael Walsh and Liz Hanks! Beautiful. Art music for the soul." #folk #festivals @frootsmag – at Sheffield, England
