Dan Evans’ new A Waltz Through The Woods flows like a brook that sparkles and dances across ancient, polished stones – he has created a conceptual masterpiece that prompts reflection and warm memories – A Waltz Through The Woods is a bestseller
international Dulcimer Players News magazine
the sound quality and mix of this recording is outstanding – the instruments and singing are crystal clear and feel alive – with his own distinctive fingerpicking style Dan blends together an evocative and expressive mix of Folk, Pop, Classical and Jazz – I thoroughly recommend this excellent album
Nonsuch News – the magazine for the English dulcimer club
the (dulcimer) sound is delicious and slightly exotic – light music at its best: entertaining, melodic, charming and performed with the utmost professionalism

Dan Evans’ new CD is just lovely, and you must add this to your album collection – Rebecca Hallworth’s clear, pure voice is such a pleasure to hear and the dulcimer, as to be expected from Dan, sounds superb – there’s something for everyone to enjoy

instrumental grace and vocal romance that are hard to beat for their achievement – there is excellent support from Dan’s band of musicians – all in all a stunning musical achievement
