about

‘An interesting exercise in music responding to James Robertson’s short stories, inspiring some beautiful nuggets from O’Rourke and piano/harmonium player Kit Downes’
THE GUARDIAN

‘365 is a huge undertaking by an obviously dedicated artist determined to realise an ambitious vision. Sky-high quality and a strong sense of artistic progression - an excellent piece of work’
ALBUM OF THE MONTH : FOLKRADIO.CO.UK

'It's as if Debussy and Ravel were orchestrating Scottish Folk - truly beautiful'
**** SONGLINES

’Stories become music with the same succinct, meaningful style’
THE SCOTSMAN

‘Exquisite fiddle and thoughtful arrangements on a whole heap of intriguing new music - O’Rourke has significantly raised the bar’
LIVING TRADITION

‘A huge range of textures - new and unusual - you have to admire O’Rourke as a composer for being so prolific without resorting to repetition or minor variation’
LONDON JAZZ NEWS

‘The musicianship is exquisite and each track weaves its tale with ease and creates little sparks of magic along the way - challenging, inspiring and ultimately hugely rewarding, a triumph’
BLUES AND ROOTS RADIO

‘Sometimes the tightest parameters inspire the best work’
THE FOUNTAIN

’An interesting, and more importantly, successful experimentation in the relationship between literature and music’
BRIGHT YOUNG FOLK
