Praise for the CD
"The composition is in the same highly creative music genre of Shaun Davey, Denis Carey and Carl Hession."
– RTE -Irish Television
" This is an exciting and brilliantly arranged production, and I hope it gets the wide hearing and distribution it deserves;
it’s a rare enough event to hear so excellently performed a recording of music in the traditional vein, but when it succeeds
in weaving a creative melodious tapestry of the ‘folk’ and the ingeniously newly composed, it is an altogether unexpected delight."
– Aidan O'Hara, Irish music magazine
" Congratulations to Frank Cassidy and James Stephens on this new CD, whose music captures the spirit and essence
of a man whose contribution to Canadian political life was enormous. These original compositions are a fitting homage,
whilst also being a joy to listen to.
I wish them the success that they truly deserve."

Ambassador,
