Magical Strings (Philip & Pam Boulding)

What sets Phillip and Pam Boulding (aka Magical Strings) apart is their willingness to venture new compositions instead of relying on a standard retinue of traditional songs. Using period instruments such as dulcimer, harp, uilleann pipes and lyre, they play classic Celtic songs and originals. Their albums are no mere academic exercise in archaic music forms -- they are a felicitous wedding of the present with the past.
