A young composer like Isabel doesn’t come along very often.

Clearly she has tapped into the essence of Celtic Music and is writing and playing tunes that might have been written a hundred years and an ocean away. An excellent addition to an already thriving genre for vital and vibrant musicians, especially given that her training is from outside the genre
