The Delhi Civic Association would like to thank you for performing at our wine tasting event last Thursday. What a treasure we have in our community. I was especially impressed by all the musicians and the style of music. 

“They were great. A very different performance that our residents really enjoyed and want to have back. They gave a lot of history about their selections............ and an explanation of their different instruments. They really got the residents involved in singing and dancing. They were awesome and very professional."

You will be pleased to know that your lilting voices are wafting
through the air on the downtown streets of Charleston, West Virginia,
since I installed my tapes in my car, and the windows down and the heat
index dropped and the  memory of our reunion demands that I listen with
nostalgia and sentiment to all the lovely songs you selected!!!
What talented musicians...and to have found each other is wonderful and
you've got to be exceedingly proud of the music that fills the air when you all are
playing.
Thank you for taking the time to come to Charleston, and play for us.
The feedback about Foley Road has been so positive, and we had a truly
fine reunion, thanks to your making the evening so special for all of
us.

Si Bheag Si Mhor. What a beautiful, smooth flowing piece! Peaceful & uplifting. Lovely composition and the instruments are all played well. This stirs up images of Nature or life in a small village for me. Love how this builds as it moves along. Bravo!

GarryOwen/IrishWasherwoman "Very catchy, rhythmic Celtic track featuring some great melody lines. Especially good is the traditional string instrument melody. Recorded well, the piano stays to the sides to allow the melody lines to come through. Well done to all."

Lads of Dunse/St. Patrick's Day in the Morning "Nice little Celtic tune. Infectious rhythm. Good movement in both the harmony and melody progression. Skillfully played."

Si Bheag Si Mohr--"I like the traditional character of the arrangement. The playing is solid throughout. Nice use of dulcimer."

Ships are Sailing--"The dulcimer parts sounds excellent and certainly evokes a Celtic character."

Foley Road is a group of six musicians, ranging in profession from teachers, music and speech therapists, and even an engineer! Their varied instrumentation provides a unique musical experience for all to enjoy. The group possesses an unknown quality that comes from a spirit that connects people to their talent. They are ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary things.
