Solace, by Patrick Dexter

Solace

by Patrick Dexter

supported by

Mick Futers Having enjoyed Patrick’s uplifting musical tweets during the pandemic I preordered this album. And very good it is too. Beautiful tunes, including the fantastic Carraig Fergus, played with skill and sensitivity. In Patrick’s hands the solo cello is both calming and poignant and brings a touch of Ireland to those of us scattered elsewhere. And recording it with birdsong in the background is a delight. Favorite track: Carrickfergus.

ck49 calming and so lovely!

about

Weaving through a complex and fascinating history of traditional Irish music, as well as his own personal history, 'Solace' is a vast, accomplished and incredibly life-affirming body of work.

"Calming, plangent, like falling rain or like the south wind itself, Patrick Dexter's cello is a direct invitational voice, asking us to leave the stressed periphery and drop down, to some inner water's edge of listening, and to drink thankfully, from that deeper well." - American-Irish Poet David Whyte.

about

Patrick Dexter

Patrick’s cello sings amongst the nature outside his old stone cottage. The wild Atlantic breeze takes the warm sound up into the hills and out to the ocean.
” Incredible, tender, powerful, raw, passionate, sensual, just perfect!”

Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music. This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
