'When The Boat Comes In' - "Yes it's the old Little Fishy song but wrapped in a different guise by the ultra-talented Lander & Mason duo, that edges into folk, jazz & other areas".
MOJO PLAYLIST

"musically excellent, showing off technical ability but also adding heart and soul into their songs"
EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
.........................................................................
"Fiona has the voice of an angel, her singing could coax the birds down from the trees and melt the hardest of hearts. She turns the penny whistle into an art form, blows sensuous sax, plays a mean clarinet and tickles the ivories 'til they purr... At 70-plus minutes it's a long album, but time just seems to float by on a sea of unhurried bliss. Gorgeous."
