saoirsegirvan Thank you so much for this! Needless to say, it’s wonderful. Btw, do you know about the “Superchat” function on YouTube where live streamers (in case you ever want to livestream:) can receive donations for their content in real time?

TomOrRobin Stephen's music is a delight. Faithful to Celtic traditions with a sound and style all his own.

SERGE GUINOT Your playing is wonderful, as always

dagrote Mystical Land further confirms Stephen Wake's position as the finest transcriber of Celtic music to the guitar in the world today. He makes every tune he touches sound as if they were originally composed on, and written for the guitar.
