What people are saying about Chrissy Crowley's debut recording...
.rapidly gaining a fearsome reputation
among the cognoscenti of Celtic fiddling. Her playing is fiery and has a
distinctly mischievous personality.
By Tim Readman, Penguin Eggs Magazine, August
2007
" Chrissy Crowley from Margaree Cape Breton
will be another one to watch as she is very much at home with the likes
of Jerry Holland and Raymond Ellis of Inverness, both older and more
accomplished fiddlers. And not much wonder they say with the likes of
Archie Neil Chisholm and Angus Chisholm in her genes!
Anne McPhee, Sept 2006. The Island Fiddler
This self-titled CD is a shining example of the heart and backbone of the East Coast tradition. by Tom Knapp, Rambles Magazine June 2007
"On her self-titled debut recording this
Margaree teenager has lived up to her lineage."
John Ferguson, Celtic Heritage Magazine May
2007
Tracks such as "Dodging Potholes" show
off this lady's skill as she executes some pretty difficult moves with
her bow; a pleasure to hear her soar through".
Catherine L. Tulley August 2007 Celtic MP3
Magazine
the first fruits of the endeavors of a
brilliantly gifted teenager who has been sufficiently impassioned by
traditional music to teach herself to play, and sufficiently steeped in
it to produce work that has genuine riches of its own
Ray Templeton, Musical Traditions Internet
magazine, August 2007
Rave reviews have been received from
various media outlets for Chrissy's outstanding fiddle playing and she
is definitely a star in the making.
