The accordions and whistles and citterns and fiddles are only tools, so in the hands of a master composer and arranger they can be used to create anything, even blues and rock. Well, of sorts. But considering Mark's celtic inclinations, I'm pretty pessimistic. For a second - listen in your mind to soundtracks and songs Mark has written which have a folk/celtic theme. There's like a common thread running through it, the phrasing, the arrangements, and it's become quite predictive. If this record is a Get Lucky Part II, I'll steer clear. I hope I'm wrong.
