Review of Homing In from Delyth Jenkins in Welsh Folk Mag TAPLAS.
http://www.taplas.co.uk/
"A familiar voice to listeners of Radios 3 and 4, Ian Mcmillan is the champion of accessible performance-led poetry. Sometimes it is full of pathos and often bursting with humour. With his orchestra including musicians such as Luke Carver Goss, who also writes most of the music, violinist Oliver Wilson-Dickson and Dylan Fowler, you know you're in for a treat.
For humour listen to iPod and First Gig and Worst Gig. On a more serious note, Curtain Down reflects on the effect of cuts. Other songs are obviously of personal significance, with one about missing his father and another about receiving news of his mother's death. Impressive production numbers are And the Word Was Music and the title track.
This album is a brilliant coming together of words and music."
