Stairway to Heaven: Passion and Compassion

Stairway is an evolution from Michael’s previous solo album Celtic Blues into intricate and thrilling duets with his wife Belinda. 

Instrumentation is harp/viola or harp/percussion, but with additional ornamentation from flute, tenor recorder and electric bass.  Percussion varies between djembe, doumbek, a Latin shaker feel, & bongos.
