Description
Anam - First Footing
"The energy they bring to their music is palpable, both in their traditional outings and the quite beautiful self-penned tracks…that this album flows as smoothly as it does is a tribute to the insight of these particular musicians."
"Anam's star would appear to be in the ascendant & I would advise you to see them". The Irish Post.
