Sail Across The Sky is a further testament to what a talented musical artist and songwriter Brendan is. He has delivered heartfelt elegant lyrics in a single which proves he is staying true to his musical vision. The sound is an acoustic, Celtic ballad that flows elegantly.
The stunning harmony which further enhances Sail Across The Sky is provided by Denise Hyde.
Apollo SteamTrain has a contrasting range of music. I know it well, but I can truly say this brought a wee tear to my eye. An impressive start to 2020.
