Album Notes

Isla (pronounced "I'll-ah") offers a blend of Celtic and American roots in a sound uniquely its own. The varied backgrounds of Isla's four members, spanning Classical training, seminal Folk-Rock, Pop, Country and Spoken Arts all contribute to this fine weave of stories and tunes. Intrigue, adventure, longing and true love come alive in this first self-titled album.

"Their performances radiate a fresh, vibrant enthusiasm which is immediately contagious...with a choice selection of source material and integrity by the lorryload...highly accomplished and promising..."
John O'Regan
Rock'n'Reel magazine

"Isla is full of pleasant contradictions...ancient and contemporary, ethereal yet grounded, complex tales simply presented...Listening to Isla was one of the most totally encompassing musical experiences I've had in a long time!"
