"I asked my table-mates for words to help describe Lise Sinclair as you'll get fed up seeing the word beautiful "wonderful, sweet, easy to listen to, a uniqueness o' the Fair Isle musicians, unlike anyone else... keeping all these adjectives in mind; Lise sings of the pain of human experience; Three Trees inspired by a magazine article on a Yugoslav woman who lost her family through the conflict, planting a tree for each and watching them flourish. Middle of Winter and It's Not Something I'm Going to Do Today and a lullaby based on a Vagaland poem. I swear I did hear a pin drop." ..Karen Angus, Shetland Times.. .. "like a golden dram of single malt" "Moving and wonderful. Like a shell to the ear." ..Gwilym Williams, New Hope International Review..
