Mike Howe - Artist Page
An ecologist in a Welsh national park, Howe’s music is inspired by the natural world where he lives and works, as well as by the people and places he has known... More than anything, this music is humble, heartfelt, and strikingly beautiful. The warmth and serenity felt in the fifteen quiet melodies are very personal yet easily accessible. The CD maintains a calming mood from start to finish, but the individual pieces are distinctive and unique. Sure to ease away the stresses of the day and create an enchanting atmosphere, Time Stands Still is a must for anyone who enjoys acoustic guitar music.

Paul Machlis - Artist Page
"Released in 1998, Greenwoods is clearly an overlooked gem that successfully merges Celtic influences with accessible melodic sensibilities. Greenwoods was released right around the same time as the smash hit soundtrack Titanic that featured Eric Rigler and his magical uillean pipes. Machlis made the wise move of enlisting Eric, and his presence is felt immediately on the opening track “At The Wooden Bridge”, only to be rounded out by Paul’s smooth piano moves. The formula is repeated successfully on “The Black-Haired Lass” and “In The Mist”. The songs featuring Eric are certainly the album’s prominent moments but frankly it is in very good company as there is very little to fault here . . ." Michael Debbage, Solo Piano Publications
