In the mist, among the hills where yellow grass grows, suddenly appears vague silhouettes. What is it? Maybe an army of ancient warriors comes to conquer new lands? Or a detachment, which has lost its way in time can not find the way home? Horses are neighing, armors are clanking, soldiers are in order again and they are ready for the battle. And only raven flocks, these everlasting companions of war, are circling in the sky, anticipating the prey.
The banners are fluttering in the wind. Imposing towers are seen far away. And the power, coming from the threatening army fills you. It uplifts your spirit. And again are you feeling yourself the fearless warrior of the glorious army, as maybe, you have felt at that time, many ages ago…
Music of Llewellyn is full of strength. The power of the Celts is felt in it. And also it contains the strength of the Earth, so it is very Earthly music. Simple melodies and drawling, flowing sounds are immersing you into a world passed away long ago. And suddenly this world becomes so real!
Like a magical balsam is Llewellyn's music "infused" on the Celtic folklore. It is penetrated by this folklore. This music is very light and romantic. Soft keyboards are finely "inscribed" into a melodical line, various nature sounds paint the cloth of musical linen, make it rich and many-sided. Sounding of the album is very soft.
There is one more important feature of the Llewellyn's music. Inspiration is felt in it. By its spirit it is close to the music of Medwyn Goodall. And this is not occasional. Medwyn Goodall has taken part in the record of one of the album's compositions. One can hear his acoustic guitar in Avalon.

                       And there, far away, between forgotten plains
                       Only grim wind is wandering alone
                       And ravens cries in the distant skies
                       Are like echoes of the long-forgotten years…

The power of Earth is hidden deeply before the time comes. But its envoy - the Queen of Fire - is coming to you. And it burns your soul with shining bright and soft, furious and tender fire of Love…
"Celtic Legend" … Music of the everlasting Love…
