"Ellis & Franklin is a quintet that mixes the music of the Celts with jazz [and other world music styles], presenting the ancient melodies of the British Isles through technologically advanced instruments. The result is an electro-acoustic music of great depth and is richly
arranged." --Keltika Magazine, Italy
