"Ailbhe’s imagination here locks into the mundane everyday parts of a modern child’s life, equally and deftly avoiding both the obscure and the contrived. It is this, perhaps above all, that left me feeling extremely happy with the collection, confident in recommending it without reservation."
Andrew Eales, PianoDao
