IN THE TIME OF - CD~In the time of~At a time when the standard and execution of Irish traditional music has never been so high, it is becoming more and more rare to chance upon a collection that takes one's breath away. 'In The Time Of', the debut solo album from highly-respected Cork fiddle player Edel Sullivan, is such a collection, an intoxicating blend of new and old music; showcasing Edel's expressive virtuoso playing style, underpinned by tasteful arrangements featuring leading fellow exponents. Described by Irish Examiner and Evening Echo music writer Paul Dromey as "an exquisite, compelling and authoritative CD" - if a finer album of traditional music has been released this year, I haven't heard it". Launching the album, RTE Lyric FM broadcaster Dr. Evelyn Grant said: "I'm a huge fan of Edel's versatility and flexibility as a musician, together with her breadth of interest ranging through traditional, classical, music therapy, community music, and composition". Edel Sullivan's art as both musician and arranger have been central to Cork singer/songwriter Ger Wolfe's last four albums. Reviewing Wolfe's most recent release 'The Velvet Earth' for The Irish Times, Siobhán Long wrote that "it thrived on some sublime string arrangements".
