Whisperin 'n Hollerin (Ireland).....Aidan Bartley has quietly been sliding masterpieces into the marketplace since 1997.Finely balanced between dignified, emotive songs and evocative instrumentals, "Vaudeville" is based primarily around Bartley’s piano and stirring, but subtle and sparing strings. It’s opulent and sometimes rich, yet while it’s perhaps a little too austere to be described as ‘lush’ that’s not a problem as the arrangements are all pretty much spot-on,

Aidan Bartley’s music is riddled with enigma and atmosphere, yet always remains warm and human. He can be melancholic, romantic or haunting, yet he always convinces. Tim Peacock
