Reviews of La Vida Buena - The Good Life

Phamie's latest release La Vida Buena - The Good Life has recently been reviewed for The Scotsman, Scotland's national newspaper.

Young, exceptionally musically gifted and living in Barcelona, this young Borders woman was taught piano by virtuoso Ronald Stevenson, counts Philip Glass as a pal, and is one of Scotland's leading contemporary small harpists and composers. Here she plays a dozen of her pieces on the electro harp in moods mesmeric ? as in 'El Delfin' (The Dolphin) ? to her road movie 'Motorbike Blues', to the hand-clapped melody of 'Gypsy' from in Zaragoza. Strongly atmospheric and expressive.
