I was recently interviewed for a Canadian magazine called CelticLife.
"In fact, Philby's strong, clear soprano suggests a cross between Polwart and Rusby"
I met Rob Weir last year in June when he came to our gallery in Birsay and we started talking music and things... Having just launched my album at the folk Festival I gave him a copy. I was delighted a few months later when I received an email from him saying that his editor was interested in him writing a piece on me for Celtic Life magazine!
It is a lovely magazine full of interesting articles connected with Celtic Life. See their website for more information.
"Perhaps in the end it will be audiences and critics who decide whether Philby remains a hobbyist or becomes a folk circuit regular. But even if 'Saltwater & Stone' is, as the Brits say, a "one off," it will stand as a testament to the resiliency of the folk process".
