"Top of the world" - "An outstanding debut from the Irish singer: Dàibhidh Stiùbhard's remarkably assured debut (...) showcases one of the most individual of voices to emerge in Irish music in recent years. It also offers eloquent evidence of the deepening involvement of Northern Ireland's young artists in their own regional tradition and discovery of increasing kinship with their southern and Scottish neighbours. The dark, peaty soil of Stiùbhard's native County Tyrone seems ingrained in a voice that ranges from lilting poetry to aching lament ... Sung in Irish, English and Scottish Gaelic, there's a timeless quality to the mix of traditional and original songs here, Stiùbhard's distinctive Ulster accent all the more expressive for the delicate vibrato that suspends his voice between past and present ... An impressive, intoxicating showcase"

"Dàibhidh's all-encompassing philosophy is that "traditional music is for everyone". As he demonstrates on this fine debut, it's truly a rich and engrossing world into which he hopes that others will readily fall through listening to this album"
