Reviews
"This is a courageous tour de force of a debut album… Reid chooses to produce an album entirely of solo fiddle and rises to the
challenge and succeeds gloriously, where others would surely fail. Her exquisite playing is assured, unhurried and gentle, yet it brims with
energy and rhythm. Such is its strength that any accompaniment would be at best superfluous and at worst detrimental."
Taplas
"Brave, respectful and revealing. Musical - above all musical."
Chris Wood
"…finely expressive playing."
fRoots
"Snake Bow is a compendium of highly arresting fiddle pieces."
Record Collector
"Best instrumental album in years. I find huge landscapes opening up in it..."
Nick Woodward, Bristol Violin Shop
"It's quite enchanting, very fresh and characterful, full of unexpected dipping and diving,
colour and wit, with a kind of dreaminess of
tone which is often hypnotic. Your Swedish-Northumbrian roots make a fascinating blend"
