Reviews
Getty's set of three songs Poor Peter is well crafted.
Dominy Clements
Music Web International, 2009
These three songs are immensely enjoyable. Sung with considerable feeling by Delan, the songs in Getty's vision of Elizabeth England (or thereabouts) are distinguished by haunting lyricism and, in "Tune the Fiddle," by body-engaging rhythms.
