‘Quarterdays Whitsun is the second of fiddler Marwick’s EPs celebrating the old Scottish Quarterdays. This time he’s teamed up with harper Wendy Stewart on traditional-inspired original compositions that dance through spring and early summer with a perfectly judged lightness of touch. It’s wonderfully expressive and uplifting music.’ - RnR

'While I’m late coming to this, the beautiful melodies and gentle interplay between Gavin Marwick’s fiddle and Wendy Stewart’s harp perfectly capture the atmosphere of a warm late-spring and come next May I’ll definitely be celebrating my favourite time of the year with a few spins of the Quarterdays: Whitsun EP.’ - Darrensmusicblog
