| Sat 14th Feb 2009 | Skyhook An exciting collaboration of three of the finest acoustic musicians. Martin Harwood, Cath James and Eoin Teather play traditional tunes and songs from Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton Island, plus some brand new self-penned compositions. skyhook are characterised by breathtaking twin fiddles combined with sublime guitar, bouzouki and voice. They shift seamlessly between driving dance music and spine-tingling songs, and play with a joy and precision that's hard to match. "astoundingly good" - Stirrings Magazine (Jan-March 2006) "was inadvertently, overwhelmingly blown away at Sheffield Folk Festival yesterday by a stunning three piece... Two superb fiddlers accompanied by a fine, fine guitarist (who also turned out to be an unbelievably good singer)" - Keith Donnelly “Acoustic trio skyhook create fabulous Celtic folk with a mixture of glorious abandon and respect for the music's traditions, which makes for lovely energising listening. Cath James's fiddle often leads the way, but her partners Martin Harwood (fiddle/guitar/bouzouki/piano) and Eoin Teather (vocals/guitar/bouzouki) take equal turns to illustrate their individual talents.
